Female presence on FTSE 250 boards rises, but women in executive roles drop by over 10%.

Despite an overall increase in female representation on FTSE 250 boards, the number of women in executive roles has dropped by over 10% in two years, falling from 47 to 42. Women now account for just 12% of executives, with only 10 serving as CEOs. While the number of women in non-executive director roles has risen by 50%, progress towards top executive positions has stagnated, highlighting a "gender paradox" where women face significant barriers in climbing to the top.
