Guest Speaker : Dr Thomas Baker, Assistant professor/lecturer, the Quinn and Smurfit Business Schools at University College Dublin, Ireland
 

Dr Baker will discuss the macro-movements in the career trajectories of men and women in finance and accounting.  His overview includes discussion around tracing the two tournament gender system - the distinct career trajectories of men and women suggest that there’s a two-tournament gender system for reaching executive level roles in accounting and finance.

Men enter a fast-track route far earlier, reaching upper middle management and executive level well in advance of women. Despite this divergence, however, Dr Baker’s research indicates that women’s careers accelerate at a much faster rate once they’ve secured an executive level role.
 

Dr Baker will also discuss and highlight a number of key themes that provide greater insight into the experiences of executives and non-executives advancing their careers in the sector – and, moreover, the role that gender plays within this and open up for Q&A and wider discussion and feedback with the audience on the night.

  
Professor Geraldine Doyle, Professor of Accounting and Taxation at University College Dublin and Prof Andy Prothero will co-host the event.
