Aurora50’s Diana Wilde writes in The National about how diverse boardrooms are both fairer and more profitable.

The UAE leadership understands the link between the representation of women in organisations and better financial results, Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde said in an interview with Arabian Business.

Interviewed on Asharq Business Bloomberg after a quota of one woman per listed UAE board was mandated by the Emirates and Securities Commodities Authority (ESCA), Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde said: “We have a clear message from the government in the UAE that the economy will grow substantially if gender balance is achieved. The challenge lies in creating a pipeline of women, and the extent of women’s access to boards.”

Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde was interviewed on Dubai One’s Emirates News television show to discuss the new Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority (ESCA) quota of one woman per listed board in the UAE by 2025 and the agreement signed with the UAE Central Bank to enhance gender diversity.
