Yesterday we had our first #NextGen Frankfurt Day and gathered with the cohort to connect, learn, and gain insights from leaders across different industries within the Rhein-Main region. We kicked off with an engaging discussion at the U.S. Consulate General Frankfurt. It was our pleasure to engage with U.S. Consul General Brian Heath, who shared valuable insights on diplomacy, economic ties, and the importance of fostering transatlantic collaboration—and highlighted the essential role young leaders play in bringing these principles to life. At Procter & Gamble Deutschland's Kronberg Innovation Center, together with AmCham Germany Regional Committee Co-Chair Gabriele Haessig, we heard about P&G’s mission in the DACH region, we learned about their customer centric approach, and gained an inside look at cutting-edge advancements in the Powered Devices Labs thanks to Robert Damaschke, one of our current NextGen Program participants. The day also included a meaningful discussion on the power of intergenerational collaboration and its potential to drive leadership forward. We explored how fostering leadership within teams—grounded in mutual trust and respect—can make the workplace more adaptable and innovative and strengthen a company’s impact and results. As part of this panel we were thrilled to have Megan Deardorff as member of the NextGen Steering Committee and Thomas Henneberg representing AmCham Germany. Our day concluded with an engaging Fireside Chat featuring Deutsche Bank’s experts such as Gerlinde Siebert, Markus H.-P. Müller and Kristian Snellman and moderated by NextGen Alumna Shelley Cantrick. They shared perspectives on sustainability, governance, and strategic transformation in the banking industry and future-oriented topics, setting the stage for an insightful Q&A session. We wrapped up with a networking reception, exchanging ideas, building connections, and strengthening the NextGen community. We are grateful to our hosts, our speakers, and all our participants for their support and contributions in making this day a resounding success!
