100 women, 100 inspiring role models! 👩 💪 Our CEO, Anne Wedel-Klein, has been named one of the 100 most important women entrepreneurs and managers at German medium-sized enterprises. We are thrilled that she has received this commendation as a sign of her commitment to good management and to equality. Congratulations to all those 100 outstanding women on their achievement! 🏆
Mittelstand Reloaded has just released its list of the top 100 most important women at German medium-sized enterprises, published in DUP UNTERNEHMER magazine, Handelsblatt and WirtschaftsWoche – and I am delighted to count among their number! I am proud and grateful to have been named alongside so many impressive female entrepreneurs and managers - wow! Thorsten Giersch, chief editor of DUP Unternehmer-Magazin, writes: “Behind these 100 names are 100 stories that encourage and embolden.” That’s something I very much agree with, as I believe that courage and bold role models are crucial to the continuous positive development of the German business landscape. At the same time, I would like to add, that there are far more than just 100 stories behind those names. At the nature network (MartinBauer, Finzelberg, PhytoLab) there are over 4,000 life stories – it’s definitely not just about me. My 4,000 colleagues work together to drive innovation and diversity forward, making the group of companies what it is today and ensuring its future fit. I am grateful for that and excited to continue that journey fast forward! I would like to thank the jury members AllBright foundation co-director Dr. Wiebke Ankersen, President of the Verband deutscher Unternehmerinnen e.V. (VdU) Christina Diem-Puello, Kienbaum partner and director Dr. Anna-Maria Karl, LL.M., managing director of DUP Media GmbH Ayse Mese, and Odgers Berndtson partner Dr. Marco Henry V. Neumueller! My congratulations and high-five go out to all 99 of the other women named, many of whom I am fortunate enough to know personally and very much appreciate!
