Diana Wilde, co-founder of Aurora50, talks to Business Breakfast’s Richard Dean, as seen on Dubai One, about the number of women in UAE boardrooms doubling and the issue of ‘over-boarding’ that needs to be addressed to ensure that more women will be able to start their board careers early on.
The interview follows the publication of research report Non-executive Board Careers in the UAE: A Path to Gender Balance published by Aurora50 and the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) and sponsored by ADNOC.
