As a long-standing executive in IT Strategy & Governance in a large corporation, as IT project manager, as transformation agent responsible for a change project for several thousand people, as IT collaboration engineer for cooperations with BMW Group, Toyota, Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik, among others, with international project experience as well as committee experience at top management level, Kathrin knows quite well what it means to go her way as a woman in the tech sector. She pursued her passion for entrepreneurship as a lecturer for 6 years at the university and still today in the Munich Startup Ecosystem, so that innovative ideas can become reality. With three small children and in times of Corona she started her own business as a keynote speaker and trainer for the topics Agile Working, Digital Transformation and Digital Business Models. She encourages women in particular to learn these future topics, as they will help you advance as a person and in business, and hardly anyone can ignore them. Having moved out of her home at the age of 16, Kathrin has traveled to more than 70 countries. Whether by chicken bus through Latin America, by train on the Silk Road, by camper van through Australia, on foot through Kyrgyzstan or by hitchhiking through Ireland - life is too short not to follow the adventure. Solidarity among women is important to her. Only together it goes forward. At her employer she was the driving force behind the development of a women's network. Within 4 months she had founded almost 1000 women on the platform and a 10-person power team that organized events, a mentoring program and much more. She was the first to study business administration and business informatics at her university in parallel in a double degree program. To do this, she first had to convince several professors and the examination office. The first reaction of the person responsible at the examination office was: "Yes, we have never had that before. Their answer: "Yes, then you have it now." When Kathrin went to her thesis supervisor at the time with the idea of an industrial doctorate, he said: "I don't think you can do it. She thought: "OK. Now more than ever," and was one of the first in her class to have her Dr. rer.-nat. in her pocket. Kathrin wants to encourage you to follow your own authentic and happy path with courage and self-confidence and offers you multifaceted, competent and individual support for your personal and professional development. Whether you are a career starter or have professional experience: how to position yourself correctly in the company, build up your network and follow your career path. Whether as an entrepreneur and founder: how to align your business model for the future. Or in the discovery phase: life is never linear, but full of wonderful opportunities. Together you will find a way that suits you as a human being and high potential. As a prerequisite she relies on Growth Mindset, lifelong learning, growing together and high resilience to realize your visions. She wants to be an example for her children and is committed to a future in which women can develop their full potential for society and the economy.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Pro career, pro child and family. The way there is not always easy, you do not only meet with acceptance.I am a mother of two adorable children, but I have also been working for 7 years as a lawyer in the field of mergers and acquisitions. The work is very international, therefore sometimes travel-intensive. My credo: Family and career do not stand in each other's way, I encourage you to experience both side by side. For me personally, career is the yin to the family yang, so to speak.

Dr. Louisa Leonhardt, 32 Attorney-at-law with her own law firm since 2013, PhD in football / European player recruitment. Football is one of my passions.

Dr. Sonja Stork, LL.M., attorney at law (IT, digitalization): Sonja (38 years old) from Munich is married and has been a new mom for eight months. She holds a doctorate in law with a focus on digitalization, IT law, data protection and telecommunications. She studied in Trier, London and Bonn, where she worked, published and completed her doctorate. She started her professional life in a major international law firm in Düsseldorf and worked for many years in a specialized IT law boutique after moving to Munich. Although it was her wish for a long time, she consciously decided against the partnership. For almost two years now, she has been working in-house in the legal department of a DAX group and has been in charge of digitalisation projects, investments in start-ups, etc. Besides the exciting in-house position, she spends a lot of time with her family and can give her son Henry the love and closeness he needs. During her studies as well as in the first years of her career she met some female role models who supported, motivated and inspired her. She would like to pass this on to young mentees and show them that they do not have to follow the career/life paths of others, but that they can find their own path - even if it is not strictly linear. She also takes great pleasure in introducing young women to the exciting facets of alleged male domains and inspiring them to do so. In return, she enjoys gaining insights from Gen Z into her social media use. What particularly appeals to her about reverse mentoring is the mutual support, the valuable exchange of knowledge and experience, and getting to know other perspectives - a win-win situation for everyone involved!

Sawsan Chebli (41) is the youngest state secretary in the Berlin Senate and reports directly to Berlin's governing mayor Michael Müller. Born the 12th child of a thirteen-member Palestinian refugee family in Berlin's Moabit district (Moabit wasn't so fancy back then), she was stateless for the first fifteen years of her life. At 15, she and her parents were finally naturalized. At the age of 21, Sawsan Chebli joined the SPD and studied political science at the renowned Otto Suhr Institute at the FU Berlin. Her dream: to work in an independent state of Palestine, existing side by side peacefully with Israel, as an employee of the United Nations or for the German Foreign Office, helping to build up the young state. It soon became clear that the dream would remain a dream. So she reoriented herself. She worked for a long time in the German Bundestag, was a policy advisor to the then Berlin Senator of the Interior, Ehrhart Körting, and spent almost three years as deputy spokeswoman for the Foreign Office to Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier. One of her passions has always been learning languages: she speaks five languages, but German is by far the language she knows best. Her home is Berlin, partly because friends and family live here; the United States is a place of longing for her. Her life is characterized by the struggle not to be pigeonholed. Not everyone likes that, but she has always had a mind of her own. Early on, as a German-Palestinian and out of full conviction, she committed herself to the exchange of views She wants to be a role model for young people who have to follow a similar path.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

I currently coordinate the Bosch Alumni Network at iac Berlin, a worldwide transsectoral network of over 6000 former Robert Bosch Stiftung grantees. After studying international relations and earning a master's degree in international humanitarian law in Geneva, I was drawn to Berlin for an internship at the Swiss Embassy. Three months turned into more than 10 years, during which I was responsible for a wide variety of projects for major institutions in the political and cultural spheres. Before joining iac, I was head of press and public relations at the Falling Walls Foundation. I am happy to share my long experience in project management and public relations with my mentee and to exchange views on my work in the non-profit sector.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
