Check out what Hemdat Sagi, our Managing Director, had to say about the vital role of women in shaping the future of automotive and mobility!!
Transformation starts with representation… and we can’t afford to leave half the talent pool on the sidelines! That’s what Hemdat Sagi, Managing Director of Konnect - Volkswagen Group Innovation Hub TLV, told us when we asked why Volkswagen Innovation chose to partner with the WOMEM CEO Academy for Women in Mobility, Energy & Manufacturing. Here’s what else she told us: 🚀 𝗢𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗽𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 “The WOMEM CEO Academy doesn’t just create space – it builds a launchpad. It equips women with the strategic, operational, and leadership tools to rise to the top – and more importantly, to redefine what leadership looks like in these traditionally male-dominated sectors.” 👩💻𝗢𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 “If we’re serious about equity, it can’t be optional or inspirational – it has to be operational. Companies need to set measurable leadership diversity targets, tie them to executive compensation, and embed mentorship and sponsorship into their cultures.” “Treat gender equity not as a program, but as a core strategic advantage. Because that’s exactly what it is.” Thanks for your support, Hemdat Sagi and Konnect - Volkswagen Group Innovation Hub TLV!! 🙏 ⏩ Reach out to become a partner of our 2nd WOMEM CEO Academy cohort by commenting on this post or messaging Orlie Sol (Dahan) Gruper at orlie @ women-in-mobility . com
