THE TOP 100 EUROPEAN WOMEN IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS CONSULTANCIES

This listing is the first attempt ever at providing a Who’s Who of Women occupying leadership positions in the field of public affairs within the European Union and is by no means exhaustive. TOP means a leadership position that implies determining the strategic direction of the firmy. The research was limited to PA consultancies only either Brussels-based or in EU member states and also relied on consultancies that are members of the Europan Public Affairs Consultancies Association.  Positions that were below the ‘Director’s level i.e. middle and low level positions were discounted (They go by different titles PA Specialist, PA Counsel, Associate Director, Senior Associate, Executive Associate, Associate, Client Executive, Account Executive, Account Manager, Senior Consultant, Consultant, Junior Consultant).

We understand that titles in the field of public affairs are wide open for interpretation. Titles are idiosyncratic. They’re often designed to conform to a hierarchical salary structure; directors, obviously, are paid at a higher level and have more responsibility than assistant or associate directors, or managers. Both title and the way the office is structured can, to some degree, affect whether one succeeds in one’s job. A job title can establish, or undermine, one’s authority, both within a firm  and in the outside world.
