THE INITIATIVE - FEMALE ALLSTAR BOARD
With the Female All-Star Board initiative, Handelsblatt and Bain & Company are creating a unique platform for women in leadership positions. While scientifically proven, the enrichment of companies through women's leadership is still not a practiced standard in many companies. With the Female All-Star Board, we are not only making a statement in the business world, but also, in particular, for young, committed women: the leaders of tomorrow.
Each year, five top female decision-makers in Germany are honored and appointed to the Female Allstar Board (FAB). In addition, a network for outstanding female leaders – the Female Rising Stars – is created with the goal of increasing their presence and visibility, and thus also diversity, in the German economy.
