Leader of UK insurance practice set for boardroom jobs
PricewaterhouseCoopers’ UK insurance practice leader Clare Thompson has been identified as a potential corporate board member at the Professional Board Forum networking event pushing women onto boards, the Times reports.
The Professional Boards Forum brings company chairmen together with the kind of women who should be candidates to join boards.
The concept was devised by Elin Hurvenes, a Norwegian entrepreneur, after Norway’s Government introduced legislation requiring that 40% of the country’s corporate boards be women.
