<p>While there has been a dip in the number of female Chief Financial Officers in
the FTSE 100 this year, there has been a significant increase in the number for the
FTSE 250 since 2015 and therefore the FTSE 350 as a whole. Mid-year figures for the
Hampton-Alexander Review released last Wednesday showed that 29% of all FTSE 100 board
positions are now held by women, up from 12.5% in 2011.</p><p> </p><p>The Review has
launched an online portal for all FTSE 350 companies to submit wider female leadership
data. This will track progress against 2017’s extended targets for 33% of women across
the Executive Committee and their Direct Reports. These targets will help ensure there
is a sustainable pipeline of women for all FTSE 100 board roles including finance
chief roles.</p>
