Despite the limitations on continental comparisons within this analysis stemming from lower numbers of European companies in the sample, we are still able to draw some interesting conclusions.
The North American talent market is typically more dynamic and sees more turnover of top leadership roles than EMEA, and this is reflected in the below breakdown for H1 2024. In particular, we can see this is the case in Insurance and Technology, while even in Financial Services there were more than double the number of board moves in North America when compared with EMEA. Again, this reflects an arguably more buoyant and dynamic talent market, as well as the fact that growth in the US economy has remained significantly higher than the European average throughout this period.
