To help achieve ABB’s goal of narrowing its gender imbalance among its executive workforce, the ABB Executive Search Team is proactively building and nurturing a net- work of external gender diverse executives from which to recruit for all future positions at ABB. ABB needs to establish today the professional contacts that will lead it to the best employees of tomorrow. Developing candidate pipelines well before individuals are required for employment allows ABB’s Executive Search Team to become ambas- sadors for the company and to promote the company’s employment brand. Introducing ABB and building relationships produces a gender diverse candidate pool that will al- ready know the organization and have an interest in joining the company at the time an appropriate opportunity arises at ABB.

Proactively constructing a diverse candi- date pipeline helps to ensure that when job requisitions are opened the most talented individuals are being hired by the company. Recent senior leadership positions filled by the ABB Executive Search Team with female candidates: • Head of Strategy and Business Devel- opment Process Industries, • Chief Counsel Labor Law, • Global Leadership Learning Ecosys- tem Manager, • Vice President of Service, RAMA • Director of Indirect Procurement, Americas.
