Female Founder Drinks #10: Carla Kaufmann

Speaker Event

17.06.2020, 17.15 - 21.30 h

Responding to the COVID-19 crisis, we have changed our format to give you options so you can enjoy FFD events in a format that suits you.

We are holding two smaller and shorter events so we can still come together to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and a drink or two sharing stories, laughter and listen to Carla Kaufmann’s engaging talk in person while keeping our physical distance. And a live webinar, so you can enjoy the talk and be part of the Q&A in physical isolation and comfort of your home.

So you have three options:

Option 1: 17.15 – 19.15 at Wespace with the talk and Q&A session starting at 18.00.

Option 2: 19.30 - 21.30 at Wespace with the talk and Q&A session starting at 19.45.

Option 3: 19.45 live Webinar (45min – 1 hr).

Do you want some tips for success from one of Switzerland’s leading female entrepreneurs? Female Founder Drinks (FFD) is delighted to announce that our next speaker is CARLA KAUFMANN, the partner and owner of two market leading companies in Switzerland: Companymarket AG and Get Diversity GmbH. In her talk,

THE FEMALE WAY OF SUCCESS

Carla will cover:
• My story and key lessons learnt as multi-entrepreneur in Switzerland
• What I could never have done as a man
• Innovation – the power of diversity

As Carla has such vast knowledge and insights into being a successful entrepreneur, we’ll keep the extended Q&A time to 15 minutes. So bring along your questions and your friends!

There will be plenty of time, before and after the talk and Q&A session (19.15- 20.00), to enjoy gourmet canapés and a drink or two with other inspiring and vibrant entrepreneurial women. As with all FFD events, it will be an evening of sharing stories, ideas and laughter.
