The initiative in support
of female top management talents
The initiative Generation CEO aims to improve the situation of female executives in top management and on their way there.
The goal is to increase the number of top female executives in companies and to sharpen the awareness of the presently unexploited leadership potential. Patron of the initiative is the German Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Seniors, Women and Youth, Dr. Kristina Schröder. Numerous companies support the initiative. In 2011 Generation CEO has a total of 101 prize winners, who are supported with grants. Each year 20 new members are selected.
The initiative was founded in 2007 by executive search consultant
Heiner Thorborg.

ANNUAL EVENT 2011
On October 6th, 2011, the new winners of the exclusive women’s network were announced for the fifth time in Berlin’s Kommandantur (old garrison headquarters). During this annual event, the winners of all previous years met with leaders from the sponsoring companies, from the advisory board and from the Council of the Wise, such as Dr. Wulf Bernotat, former CEO of E.ON AG.
With over a 100 participants, this year's event was the largest so far. After an opening by Hartmut Ostrowski (Bertelsmann), the new Generation CEO managers were introduced to the audience. The “Gender Equality Project”, an institution that helps companies create and measure key performance indicators for diversity, presented its work. Later, Heidi Stopper (ProSiebenSat.1) gave a speech and opened a round table discussion around the “Best diversity practices” of various companies from Bertelsmann to Microsoft.
