The Quartz Global Executives Study was produced by the marketing team at Quartz. These data were sourced from a 47-question survey of 1,357 global executives, administered in September and October 2016. The respondent pool consisted of business leaders in 97 countries and 31 industries. C-level executives were the most highly represented group by job title (50% of respondents); others in the pool included managing partners, managing directors, VPs, directors, general managers, and board members. Industries represented include: consulting and business services (21% of respondents); finance (14%); media and advertising (13%); technology (11%); healthcare and life sciences (4%); retail and luxury goods (4%); and others (34%). The four largest industry segments were selected for this analysis. Distribution of respondents across age ranges was: under 25 (2%); 25-34 (13%); 35-44 (18%); 45-54 (26%); 55-64 (24%); 65 and older (16%). The full dataset includes the findings presented here and others, segmented by global region, age range, and industry. Respondents were sourced via the Quartz audience, partner channels, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Data are self-reported.
