Succeed – Women in Leadership

The initiative “Succeed - Women in Leadership” highlights the fact that ERGO promotes and backs the many successful women who take on career responsibilities within the company. In leadership positions, they make important and decisive contributions to the success of our company.

With their skills, performance and commitment, our female managers considerably advance the performance of ERGO. Accordingly, we are promoting further diversity in the workforce, one aspect of which is increasing the percentage of women in management positions to 40 percent by 2025. One of the various steps ERGO has taken in order to achieve this goal is launching the initiative “Succeed – Women in Leadership”. As part of the initiative, we portray some of the many successful female managers at ERGO. Our aim is to inspire even more women to pursue a management career at ERGO by showcasing the diverse role models and providing insights into their lives and their development paths.

It is the first International Women's Day for Lena Lindemann, ERGO Group Labour Director, and Oliver Willmes, Chairman of the Board of Management of ERGO International, since they took over the sponsorship of women@ergo 2.0. In this interview, they talk about diversity as an important part of ERGO Ambition 2025 and what equality means to them personally.

Karin Brandl goes her way -– always with a passion for claims. At the age of 18, she completed her training as an insurance saleswoman and is now responsible for the entire claims organisation at ERGO.
