One of the most underestimated career accelerators is building the right network and making yourself visible.

That’s exactly why I’m excited to support the #FutureCareerFestival 2026 – Future Skills. Global Minds. Grow Together. as Advisory Board Member.

Together with my fellow Co-Initiators and board colleagues Mandy Yuman Sun, Michel Rudin, Klaudia Wilde, Torsten Marondel and Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Meyer-Falcke, we’re bringing together outstanding leaders from business, academia and politics to discuss the future of work: from #AI & #Innovation to inclusive workplaces.

As someone passionate about empowering leaders and creating opportunities, I’m especially looking forward to the #Leadership Career Lounge at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. In small-group executive networking sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to connect directly with senior leaders from our festival partners, exchange ideas and expand your leadership network.

🚨 Leadership Lounge tickets are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

🎟 Early Bird tickets are available until 15 September: https://lnkd.in/e-BXvw8B

I look forward to meeting many of you on 15 October at Seifenfabrik Dr. Thompson’s and WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. 

Let’s shape the future of work. Together!
