Retaining senior women in investment roles in the Private Equity industry: an in-depth study of the challenges and solutions.
The vast majority of senior investment roles continue to be held by men. While historically fewer women have joined the industry, increasing numbers of hires at junior levels present an opportunity to improve representation at the top. Our research explores how PE and VC firms can progress and retain senior women in investment roles, drawing on the experiences and insights of 25 women from Principal to Managing Partner across different fund sizes (including 4 who have left the industry).
The research was commissioned by Level 20 and conducted by Pamela McGill and a team from YSC Consulting.
