Despite significant progress in recent years, the journey towards gender parity in leadership is far from complete. Women now hold 44% of FTSE 100 board positions yet represent just 37% of senior leadership roles and fewer than 10% of FTSE 100 CEO positions. While the boardroom is becoming more balanced, representation in the most influential executive roles remains uneven.

Navigating Growth & Trust – The CMO’s Dilemma of Expansion Through Partnerships
For many brands, partnerships have become an increasingly attractive route to growth. They offer access to new audiences, new markets and new sources of relevance at a time when traditional marketing channels are becoming more expensive and less effective. Yet every partnership comes with a question: does it strengthen the brand, or dilute it?
