GMS Chair Kaye Law-Fox speaks at Women on Boards

Kaye Law Fox was recently invited to speak at the Women on Boards event in Cardiff to share her insights and perspectives on boardroom leadership.

Current research* of the four senior-most roles (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chair, and Senior Independent Director) of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (All-Share and AIM listed), shows significant under representation of women and women of colour with just 13% held by women and 0.7% held by women of colour. What’s more, the number of all male boards across AIM listed boards has increased to over a third.

Since its launch in 2012 Women on Boards exists to improve diversity in executive and non-executive leadership. It is an open, inclusive network spanning all sectors, professions and career stages, to support those professionals in their early / mid-career to develop their strategic experience, alongside busy day jobs, to step up to more competitive board roles as they build non-executive portfolios.

Kaye is Chair of GMS, Associate Non-Executive Director of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and is the Senior Independent Director of Barcud, a registered social housing provider in Wales. She has held independent board member positions since 2003.
