How can women be supported for not having such a rocky road to the top? This and many other questions were discussed by the chief guest on Thursday in Düsseldorf.
The “Women on Top” event was hosted by two successful women, Nena Shink and Vivian Wolf, who encourage and support others.
Guests: Veronica Fares, Carsten Mashmeyer, judge (and wife of CDU boss Frederick) Charlotte Merz, entrepreneur Frank Thelen, former government spokesperson Bella Enda, DM boss Christoph Werner, cosmetics godmother Dr. Barbara Sturm, Moderator Franka Lehfelt, FDP General Bijn Jir-Saray and many other greats of show, journalism and politics.

They gathered at the Düsseldorf “restobar” scene at the invitation of Build moderator and best-selling author Nena Schink and “Trumschiff” actress Vivian Wolf. An event that combines glamor and social commitment.
Boxing legend Wladimir Klitschko and BILD vice-president Paul Ronzheimer sent videos asking Kyiv for donations to Ukraine.
Klitschko’s message: “We will not forget your help. Thank you for everything you can give.”

As part of her four-hour live moderation, Franca Lehfelt spoke with “Iphoria” founder Milena Jaeckel, Pickus Capital founder Robin Godenrath, DM boss Christoph Werner and Karsten Maschmeyer about women and their career paths. “Women on Top” – the name of the event said it all.
Veronica Fares, who recently produced the blockbuster “The Unforgivable” with Hollywood star Sandra Bullock, to BILD: “What a worthwhile initiative! You know, when Daniel Brühl or Til Schweiger founded a production company, So everyone clapped. When I did it: Difficult. But after working in hundreds of movies, my network is huge! I love to produce. Then why shouldn’t I have a production company? Like tonight The evening makes it clear that women can do this.”
And what’s the perfect recipe for success for a German superstar? “Beauty, brain and power – it’s the perfect combination!”
Husband Mashmeyer said: “I want to help the women myself. Like Veronica did. This is the way.”

Women who stand up for other women – that’s solidarity!
