Rise in female interim managers

07/12/2009 Rise in female interim managersThe number of female interim executives has risen by 15 percentage points in the last year and a half, new research has shown.

Women now make up 31 per cent of executives compared to just one-fourth18 months ago, according to a report by the Interim Management Association (IMA) seen by the Recruiter.

Last year saw an increase of 16 per cent to the numbers of female executives.

Karen Oddey, director of women's interim management website interimwomen.com, said that "the increase in the number of women entering the industry is excellent news, particularly for clients looking to recruit a more diverse pool of talent".

She added: "Interim management offers a serious and challenging career for women and for many, a more flexible way of working. We hope that both men and women continue to think about interim management as an exciting new career option in the year ahead."

Last month, the World Economic Forum published a report on global gender inequality, ranking the UK 15th out of 134 countries in terms of gender equality in employment and pay.
