The Research Centre for Women in Senior Management (Centro de Investigación de la Mujer en la Alta Dirección – CIMAD) has launched a platform that aims to increase the number of women in management positions as well as on company boards. Launched in partnership with several universities and three Mexican companies, the initiative is named the “network of female directors and experts in Mexico”. It comes at a time when Mexico ranks second-last among OECD countries for the number of women on boards of directors, with almost a third of listed companies in the country having no women on their boards.
The “network of female directors and experts in Mexico” was officially launched and unveiled to the press on 21 September. Its aim is to bring Mexico up to speed when it comes to female representation in top management roles and on company boards, which is currently very low. The network is the fruit of a partnership initiated by the Research Centre for Women in Senior Management (CIMAD), which is linked to the IPADE, a Mexican business school, and will function as a directory, listing qualified and experienced women who can be recruited for management positions in companies or as members of boards of directors.
