Private equity is the most male-dominated sector of the financial industry: four women report on what it is like for them there and how they are making careers.
Ms. Böhme, you work in an industry that has always been dominated by men: private equity. Your business is to buy companies and then sell them again, preferably at a high profit. Do you sometimes still have the feeling that as a woman I’m in a somewhat lonely position here?
ANJA BÖHME: Private equity has long been a male-dominated industry. However, more and more women are interested in a career in this field. It is therefore important that we network and exchange ideas with one another.
