I look forward to meeting and engaging with the participants of the HHL EmpowerHer event in person. The workshop will provide you with an initial insight into the exciting world of investment banking, particularly M&A. Using a real-life case, you will work in interactive groups on all the key milestones that need to be considered throughout the M&A process – from the equity story and investor selection to valuation. Finally, you will have the opportunity to connect with other passionate students, who will ‘empowerher’ to create a more diverse environment in the world of finance.

The world – and not just the private equity world – has been changing at an increasingly rapid pace in recent years. In addition to all the risks, this of course also brings great opportunities! I am looking forward to an exciting exchange on the key drivers in the private equity business during our workshop.
