June 2022 research report cover Non-executive board careers in the UAE (A50 MBRSG ADNOC)

Case study

Aurora50 recently published a research report, in collaboration with the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG) and sponsored by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

The report investigated the progress of women board directors in the UAE and recommended a five-step framework for women to achieve their first board position within 10-15 years.

The report used qualitative data gathered from our network of several thousand regional business executives, as well as quantitative interviews conducted by MBRSG with executive women who were already GCC-based independent board directors. All data was anonymised and aggregated to produce the report.

Media outlets that carried news from this research report included Dubai Eye 103.8’s Business BreakfastDubai One’s Emirates NewsZawyaArabian Business,  Al BayanThe NationalGulf News and Al Arabiya.

"This research provides us better insight and actionable recommendations to further accelerate gender diversity on boards and support the national gender balance agenda."
