Progress in boosting the representation of women in senior financial-industry roles has been slow, according to management consultancy Oliver Wyman.
Women globally occupied 20 percent of board-level positions in financial firms at the beginning of 2016, up from 18 percent in 2013, according to a report released Monday, which was based on an analysis of 381 financial services organizations in 32 countries.
