Nur 9,2%* der deutschen Vorstände sind Frauen, was nach wie vor eine erschreckend geringe Zahl ist. Mit unserer exklusiven Dialogserie bieten wir Ihnen Zugang zu renommierten Führungspersönlichkeiten, die es trotz der Widerstände bis an die Spitze geschafft haben, um von Ihren Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen zu profitieren.
 
Die persönliche Geschichte und berufliche Entwicklung dieser erfolgreichen Frauen kann uns alle in unserem eigenen Weg inspirieren ihnen nachzueifern – unabhängig von Alter oder heutiger Karriereposition. 

Julia Jäkel, heute Aufsichtsrätin und fast zehn Jahre CEO von Grunder & Jahr und Mitglied im Bertelsmann Group Management Committe, spricht mit uns über ihren Weg an die Spitze eines der grössten europäischen Verlagshäuser. Unter ihrer Führung wurde der Verlag umgebaut und transformiert, insbesondere durch den Ausbau digitaler Angebote, die im Jahr 2020 die Hälfte des Umsatzes erbrachten. Daneben hat sie entscheidende Weichen im Unternehmen gestellt, die es besonders Frauen ermöglichen, Führungspositionen zu besetzen. 2016 wurde Jäkel von Kress als Medienmanagerin des Jahres ausgezeichnet. Horizont verlieh ihr die Auszeichnung Medienfrau des Jahres 2017. Beim Deutschen Mediapreis 2018 wurde sie als Mediapersönlichkeit des Jahres geehrt. Das Manager Magazin wählte sie mehrfach in die Liste der 100 wichtigsten Frauen der deutschen Wirtschaft.
 
Wir sind gespannt auf die Ausführungen dieser besonderen Managerin, die sowohl ihre Karriere als auch ihre Rolle als Mutter von kleinen Zwillingen unter einen Hut brachte. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Fragen, die Sie sowohl in Deutsch als auch auf Englisch stellen können. Und wir freuen uns besonders über den interaktiven Face-to-Face-Dialog mit freigeschalteten Kameras.
 
Diese Veranstaltung ist die zweite von insgesamt fünf virtuellen Diskussionen mit prominenten Frauen aus unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen. Wir glauben, durch diesen Erfahrungsaustausch gute Tipps für ihre weitere Karriereplanung auf dem Weg zum Vorstandssitz geben zu können.

Sollten Sie im Vorfeld Fragen haben, so senden Sie diese bitte bis Freitag, 3. Dezember 2021 an folgende Adresse: germany@100women.org. Natürlich freuen wir uns besonders auch über Fragen während der einzelnen Veranstaltungen. 

Informationen zu unserem Netzwerk und zu möglichen Mitgliedschaften finden Sie hier. Wir freuen uns jederzeit über Feedback an germany@100women.org und Ihre zahlreiche Teilnahme! 
Women are only 9.2%* of board members in Germany, an alarmingly low statistic. In this exclusive lunch series, you will hear from leading women executives who made it to the top and gain insights for your own career progression.

Learn from women who rose to senior roles as they share their strategies for career advancement. Their experiences will guide and inspire you, regardless of the current stage of your career.

Julia Jäkel, who serves on several boards and was for almost ten years CEO of Gruner & Jahr and a member of the Bertelsmann Group Management Committee, will describe her path to lead the largest publishing company in Germany. She restructured and profoundly transformed the company, introducing digital publishing formats that generated more than 50% of the sales in 2020. She also oversaw structural improvements that allowed more female colleagues to climb their career ladders and occupy management roles. Jäkel was awarded the title of Media-Manager of the Year in 2016 and named Media Personality of the Year in 2018. 

Consider how you might apply the lessons Jäkel learned to manage both her career and her family life with young twin girls. Following the conversation, Jäkel will answer questions. Attendees are encouraged to turn on their cameras for the Q&A to enable an interactive session. This session will be in German.

This is the second in a series of conversations with prominent women from various backgrounds, who will describe lessons learned and tips for career advancement and potentially gaining that desirable management board seat.
