Dream Big. Make Waves.

Dream Big. Make Waves. That’s what investing in women means to me.

Encourage women to dream big, as big dreams drive significant accomplishments. They ignite creativity, prompt exploration of new possibilities, and spur individuals to pursue extraordinary goals. Ambitious dreams frequently unveil fresh perspectives, reveal hidden opportunities, and inspire innovative solutions that redefine the boundaries of what is possible.

And then, empower women to make waves by providing them with the tools and resources necessary to turn their dreams into reality. This involves fostering an environment where their voices are heard and contributions valued, offering access to education, mentorship, and opportunities for professional growth. Empowerment also includes breaking down systemic barriers and biases that hinder women's progress, alongside advocating for policies that promote gender equality and inclusivity.

At Siemens Healthineers, our ambition is to foster a culture where everyone has room to thrive and the chance to make a significant impact, drawing from their diverse perspectives and experiences. We embrace and encourage different viewpoints, backgrounds, experiences, expertise, and idiosyncrasies. We encourage our employees to be themselves and empower them to unleash their true potential. This allows different ideas and approaches to thrive.

We are committed to increasing the proportion of women in senior management positions to 30 percent by 2025. In FY 2023, we reached 25.4 percent of women as senior managers.

As one among nearly 70,000 Siemens Healthineers employees, I take pride in contributing to our mission of investing in women to promote gender equity.

Together, let's keep pushing forward, one step at a time, each and every day.
