An avalanche of nominations

Nominations of women to executive boards in large Swedish corporations indicate that 37% of candidates are female, up from a mere 13,5% in 2003. I guess that the threat of legislation has served its purpose and even if I still think that the law is justified, maybe the change will gain momentum driven by good examples like Husqvarna, Beijer Electronics and Hakon Invest.

Congratulations corporate Sweden! I guess men in board positions will have to be prepared to work harder from now on.
