Panel on Women Executives and Directors at the upcoming SMS in Berlin

  • 1.  Panel on Women Executives and Directors at the upcoming SMS in Berlin

    Posted 09-13-2016 03:15

    Please join this exciting panel at the upcoming SMS in Berlin, at 8AM on Sunday the 18th of September in the Charlottenburg III Room. 

    Women Executives & Directors: Advances & Challenges:
    This panel is motivated by the heightened efforts by boards of public companies to increase the percentage of women directors. As more companies both voluntarily and in response to regulatory quotas add women to their boards, the question arises as to whether and how women directors are impacting the dynamics and role of the board? In addition, we seek to address the challenges that women face to be appointed in senior roles and to have an impact on the companies they serve. This panel will bring together a group of scholars as well as an executive recruiter who will discuss the issues and challenges that women face as executives and directors of publicly traded companies.     

    The panel will be chaired by Margarethe Wiersema (UC Irvine) and Louise Mors (Copenhagen Business School) and the panelists are: Isabel Fernandez-Mateo (London Business School); Yan Anthea Zhang (Rice U); and Inge Berneke (Egon Zehnder). 

    We look forward to an interesting and engaging session.
