Germany Chapter Committee Members

For me, being a part of the Lead Network means being able to make a difference. Through the network, I can share my knowledge and gain new insights.

My personal drive has always been to support and develop people with a view to our diversity and togetherness.

More so than other industries, the retail and consumer goods industry has a strong influence on people’s everyday lives. With regard to the topic of diversity, this creates both an opportunity and a great responsibility. Being part of a network that has taken up this challenge fills me with pride and motivates me to make my contribution to the LEAD Network German Chapter Committee.

Diversity & Inclusion is on the agenda of all top Consumer Goods and Retail companies. LEAD Network with its extensive network and inspiring female and also male leaders offers a great opportunity to connect to outstanding personalities and to other companies and also to share experiences and best practices among all members on how to grow throughout the career.

I am a Sales & Marketing professional currently developing the away from home channel at Kellogg’s. I joined LEAD Network to drive the diversity agenda especially in sales.

Diversity and Inclusion are one of the most underutilized business enablers. Diversity is great in theory but sometimes hard and uncomfortable in practice. However, only with everyone at the table and listening to everyone’s perspective will help us realize better business results and contentment for all.

Diversity has several facets: gender, nationality, age and many more. Through diversity and inclusion a company can become much stronger and better understand the customer needs.

LEAD Network has lots to offer! For me personally it is the extensive network with inspiring leaders and most powerful women from the FMCG industry who are always open to share their best practices, and honest experiences about how they have grown throughout their careers; it is about the eye opening insights about the bias still that exists among gender equality; and it is about the fun to work across the industry with like-minded people to create awareness about diversity and inclusion in Germany.

Diversity & Inclusion should be an integral part of every organization. Therefore LEAD Network with its network is a great opportunity to drive this topic forward and exchange with different leaders. For me it is a honour to be part of that journey and also to take up the responsibility for D&I especially to inspire and have more women in leadership.
