Martin Wolf is Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times and one of the world’s most respected and influential financial journalists. Martin will set the scene and dive deep into the key forces impacting the global economy.
The last few years have been a tough environment for businesses and employees alike. Post pandemic recovery is ongoing but the fallout of Covid-19, rising inflation, the great resignation, and bigger political and economic challenges on the horizon threaten to disrupt growth once again. There is more pressure on businesses to remain competitive; as profits decrease, how will business leaders approach their D&I strategies, drive employee engagement and prepare the workforce for future challenges? What does the future of leadership look like? How can organisations retain diverse talent?

During a long executive career in communications, sales, and people development, Gerda-Marie Adenau has embraced many issues that impact corporate culture and effectiveness, such as age diversity and workplace inclusiveness. She has become an influential writer and speaker, advocating in particular for aging women in the corporate world and the fight against ageism and related stereotypes.
Gerda-Marie began working for the German electronics and technology giant Siemens in 1998 as a sales training manager and quickly moved through the ranks to her current position of Global Communications Manager and Strategy Consultant. In 2017, she joined GROW2GLOW, the Siemens coaching initiative for women, where she served as chair from 2020 to 2022. Also, late in her career, Gerda-Marie returned to academia, earning a Master’s Degree in Business Ethics in 2022 from the Hochschule für Philosophie in Munich.
Gerda-Marie’s intense passion for age diversity grew organically from personal experience. At age 40, she found herself as a single mother with a full-time job searching for survival strategies. Then, at 55, with her children grown, she faced all-too-familiar fears about her future and her livelihood, and found few role models or mentors to assist her.
She has used these concerns about physical abilities and wavering willpower to redefine her career path and become an outspoken advocate for professional women within her company and, soon, more broadly.
She has written numerous blogs and articles on the topic and has spoken widely.
