Women on Boards Moving Mountains, by Mirella Visser and Annalisa Gigante This book provides compelling evidence for the need to promote more women board members to European companies. The EuropeanPWN BoardWomen monitor conducted by Egon Zehnder in 2006 showed that only 8.5% of corporate boardroom seats in the top 300 European companies are held by women. In “Women on Boards – Moving Mountains”, EuropeanPWN in association with Mercer, analysed the profiles of the 100 top women compared to their male counterparts and provides advice for both companies and women on board diversity.

The Independent (UK), Het Financieele Dagblad (Dutch).

By the end of 2006, over 80 international senior executive men and women had taken part in this ongoing initiative. This in-company mentoring programme can serve as a benchmark of best practices for international corporations committed to building their female leadership talent through the use of mentoring as a tool for organisational change.
