Aurora50’s Diana Wilde told an Emirates Society event that some of the UAE’s biggest companies were making progress on inclusion, Arab News reported.

Women leaders can be a big driver of change, says Accounting & Business (AB), reporting on ACCA’s Women in Finance event in Dubai.

There’s a business case for more female representation on corporate boards, panellists said at the Khaleej Times’ Middle East Women Board of Directors Forum.

Aurora50’s Diana Wilde commented in a feature in Bahrain This Month for Bahraini Women’s Day, looking at achievements for women at work in Bahrain.

Diana Wilde tells the Business Breakfast that some 59% of listed UAE companies now have a woman on board, showing that the quota is “working well”.

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’.

The UAE’s continued efforts to improve gender diversity in the boardroom have led to more women holding board positions this year (8.9 per cent), up from 3.5 per cent in 2020, according to research undertaken by Aurora50 and Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government, writes Gulf Business.

The number of women on UAE-listed company boards has more than doubled from 3.5 percent to 8.9 percent in just two years, with 59.1 percent now having at least one female board member, Zawya reports, quoting Aurora50’s research report Non-executive Board Careers in the UAE: A Path to Gender Balance.

The number of women holding board seats in UAE listed firms has more than doubled over in two years, Arabian Business reports, quoting Aurora50’s research report.
