Reported appointments by Industry Moves for the first three quarters of 2019 decreased by 20%, with 526 appointments compared to 660 for the same period in 2018. The number of appointing organisations also decreased, down from 286 in 2018 to 237 in 2019.
34% of the 82 board appointments were awarded to women, the lowest percentage at the three quarter-point for the last five years. Despite a healthy start to 2019, with first-quarter stats at 33% for the number of executive appointments awarded to women, the gender balance at the three-quarter point showed no increase on last year's 27% and an increase of just 3% in the five years of reporting.
In other news, 21% of all reported appointments in the last 9 months were awarded internally, either as promotions or as part of organisation reshuffles; including the realignment of AMP Capital's Real Estate business, change of leadership at boutique superfund Spaceship and changes to the Cbus leadership team.
We also saw the launch of boutique Sage Capital with Sean Fenton leading the team, and former Aerospace Engineer Adam Randall's launch of Blue Orbit.
