This paper will take a fresh look at the global insurance industry and see if women have made any significant gains in board leadership, C-suite, and insider positions in insurance. Our results show a clear trend of improvement in gender representation on board of director and insider positions for firms in the insurance industry. However, the gains stop there and unfortunately no significant advancement for the percentage of women in the C-suite positions is evident in our dataset at this time.
