On Friday the 27th of June, we gathered at Euronext in the original trading floor of the Irish Stock Exchange, a fitting venue to share our research on Uncovering Blockers and Exploring Pathways for Women in the Financial Services Sector.

Platform55 & Lincoln Recruitment Specialists in partnership with The Compliance Institute, presented key findings from our latest research and hosted a lively panel discussion with industry thought leaders: Derval McDonagh (CPO, AXA), Andrea Dermody (Balance for Better Business), and Daryl Byrne (CEO, Euronext).

The report reveals a stark cultural divide in Ireland’s financial services sector — a tale of two cultures: progressive and traditional. Alarmingly, just 44% of employees believe their organisation has a genuine desire to drive gender equality.
