Hi lovely Münchner:innen,

the summer break is now fully coming to an end. In Munich, Wiesn preparations are in full swing, and the networking events are picking up again.

I'm excited to be back with the best networking opportunities for you, plus a wonderful women's network from the finance sector that I can't wait to introduce.

Have a great start into the week! ☀️

[her]e we grow together

Today, I'd like to introduce you to the Female Finance Circle.

It all started with a CFO dinner: 34 men, one woman. Instead of accepting it, Veronika shared the experience on LinkedIn, and struck a nerve. Aylin, Jana, and Rebecca reached out with the same question: Why are we actually accepting this? And why don't we just change it?

That question became the Female Finance Circle in January 2025. Not another technical roundtable, but exactly what the community itself had asked for: sparring, visibility, real connection. Honest, supportive, ambitious, without egos, without competition.

In less than twelve months, it has grown into a community of over 180 women: CFOs, Heads of Finance, tax experts, founders, investors. Seven local groups, three investment GmbHs, countless job moves, collaborations, and investments.

What defines the Circle is the attitude behind it: peer-level instead of a mentoring hierarchy. Practice instead of theory. Competence yes, elbows no. Everyone who joins contributes, with knowledge, perspective, and responsibility.

The Female Finance Circle isn't a network for titles. It's a network for women in finance who don't want to be louder, but clearer. Because together, you go further than alone.
