She not only was the youngest executive of Siemens, but also had tremendous personnel responsibility for a workforce of over 350,000 employees, being the Chief HR Officer at Siemens. She currently serves as non-executive board member at TUI (travel and tourism company), New York-based Kyndryl, publicly listed Konecranes and as a senior advisor at BCG and the EQT Group (a purpose-driven global investment group). She was nominated as “prima inter pares” of the Top 100 most influential women in Germany by Manager Magazin (2018). She leads with courage, passion and optimism and is strongly convinced that it is time to change the workplace, our career paths, and the speed of technology adoption. It is time to disrupt, diversify and digitize.
