Event recap

Munich, June 26, 2025 | As advocates for fostering strong professional networks and promoting gender diversity within the financial industry, we were thrilled to host the third edition of our exclusive Women in Finance event series — this year under the inspiring theme “Leading with Impact through Empathy and Authenticity.”

The 2025 edition, co-hosted with Carlsquare, brought together pioneering women who have redefined leadership across consulting, private equity, investment banking, and entrepreneurship. The evening was filled with inspiring conversations, unfiltered truths, and strategic insights that resonated far beyond its walls.

Key success factors for women pursuing careers in finance

Our distinguished speakers shared practical recommendations drawn from their own successful journeys, highlighting the mindsets, values, and organizational changes that can help women thrive and lead with purpose in the financial sector.

Lead with empathy as a strategic advantage: The most successful leaders don’t lead by fear or force, but by seeing people clearly and inspiring them through empathy.
Maintain unwavering authenticity: Staying true to one’s values, even under pressure, builds trust, fosters sustainable relationships, and enhances resilience during challenging times.
Prioritize value alignment in career choices: Seek environments that reflect your principles instead of adapting yourself to fit those that don’t.
Establish robust support systems: Build flexible networks that provide the foundation for success in both professional and personal spheres.
Embrace flexibility in organizational policies: Champion working arrangements that benefit everyone, recognizing that flexibility supports talent retention across genders.
Build diverse teams intentionally: Lead by example with inclusive recruitment, de-biased practices, and thoughtful team composition at all levels.
Claim your seat at the table: Remember that your voice matters—don’t wait to be invited into the conversation.

The event once again demonstrated the power of shared experiences and community in shaping a more inclusive and equitable financial industry. We are proud to continue this initiative and look forward to the next edition of Women in Finance, where connection, authenticity, and leadership continue to inspire lasting impact.
