: One argument against a rigid quota has always been that there are not enough qualified women for these top positions.
How difficult is it actually to find suitable women for jobs at the top?
Pietralla
: That is usually no more difficult than finding a suitable male candidate.
There are enough women with excellent qualifications, the latest appointments of Amanda Rajkumar at Adidas and Julia White at SAP are just two examples.
Incidentally, it is also not a problem to find women for top jobs in very technology-heavy industries, which is often used as an argument.
Sometimes you have to think outside the box of your own industry or abroad.
But nobody tells me that it is not possible to find a suitable candidate for a top job.
It's more about saying goodbye to cherished habits.
WELT
: Well, not every appointment of this kind is successful, as the example of the former SAP co-boss Jennifer Morgan shows: The first boss in the Dax was out after only six months.
What do candidates have to look out for if they strive for a job at the top?
