Women in
Leadership

The goal of the MBS initiative Women in Leadership is to connect and support (future) women leaders at MBS within a strong network of students, faculty, professional staff, alumni and supporting companies and organisations. With this aim, we build a strong and authentic community, which wants to work for a more equitable and gender-mindful business world and is passionate about creating a diverse and open workforce.

The initiative

Connect and Support

We build a network

  • that is open to authentic exchange, inspiration and advice so that MBS females can learn and benefit from each other
  • that connects MBS future female leaders with inspiring personalities from business, university and society
  • that accompanies and advances everyone through their personal career steps.
Develop and Grow

We offer events where MBS future female leaders

  • are enabled to reflect, expand and develop their personal strengths and potential
  • are able to develop and strengthen their leadership competencies and career opportunities
  • show, how to succeed through educational, professional and social activities
  • reflect different development opportunities through inspiring role models.
Strive to change

We are convinced that our MBS future female leaders develop food for thought and implement activities that

  • challenge the gender status quo
  • create solutions for the diversity challenges of the future
  • realize a more equitable and gender-mindful business world and
  • become future female thought leaders.
  • make an impact in the world

Frederike Probert Founder & CEO of the career network Mission Female
"Women in leadership positions need strong business relationships and sparring partners for a binding and personal exchange at eye level. I think it's great to see how women at Mission Female and Women in Leadership @MBS strengthen each other and advance professionally. Instead of individual battles, the motto can only be #strongertogether"
Katarzyna Seidl Revenue Acceleration Lead - Large Publisher Solutions, DACH
"It is crucial that women also present their achievements to the outside world with confidence. In the workplace and beyond. Awareness and practice of this is an important aspect of both our Google "Iamremarkable" workshops and the MBS Women in Leadership, which is why I am happy to support the female students at MBS here."
