In January 2019, the Boston Consulting Group and the Manager Magazin named me as one of the “Top 100 Female Managers in German Business” and one of seven “women to watch”.
I was honored and grateful for the recognition. As a founder and CEO of a tech startup, I took this as a responsibility to continue to support people with diverse backgrounds who are talented but underrepresented in building the technology of tomorrow.
Diversity drives innovation and innovative solutions need diversity.
Some numbers: With 30% women in management roles, a company's profitability increases by 15%. The company performs 24% better in management reviews and files 20% more patents a year (Global study: "Is Gender Diversity Profitable?”, Peterson Institute for International Economics).
