Singapore has the most women CEOs in the world: Deloitte Global

Of the CEOs in Singapore, 13.1% are females.

Singapore took the lead globally with 13.1% of CEO roles in the country being held by women.

Region-wide, a 2.7% increase from 2018 was also seen and is consistent with the 2.8% increase globally.

In terms of women in board seats, Singapore also led the region with a 3.9% increase. The Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia follow, with percentages of 3.8%, 3.6%, and 3.4%, respectively.

According to a study conducted by Deloitte Global with The 30% Club, the value is a 3.2% change from the previous study held in 2018.

However, the average tenure for women in the Lion City took a hit from five years to four-point-four years.

Following behind Singapore are Sweden and Thailand, with percentages of 12.4% and 11.6%, respectively.

“2022 could be a year of opportunity for the appointment of more women on boards as companies re-evaluate the needs of their board in a post-pandemic business climate,” commented Seah Gek Choo, Center for Corporate Governance Leader, Deloitte Southeast Asia.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
