Watermark Search International, Board Diversity Index 2024, published by the Governance Institute of Australia. Table “Representation of sector experience”, ASX300 directors with technology experience: 7.2% (2024), 7.1% (2022), 7.1% (2021), 4.0% (2016). The report notes some double-counting, as directors can claim more than one sector.
