Zürich ETH has always been home to innovation, excellence, and groundbreaking research. One of the inspiring legacies is the growing network of female alumni who empower verticals, orchestrate business in the future, and challenge traditional paradigms of leadership. These women display a bold and reflective character that truly defines their approach to leadership, with technological excellence and purpose leading the way. From energy and technology to finance, sustainability, and public policy, these women lead throughout the complicated operations of these organizations, scaling impactful ventures and steering collaborations across the globe. Growth to them is as much about climbing the corporate as it is about reshaping what growth means in today's interdependent and rapidly changing global economy. They build cultures of inclusion, support innovation, and are brave enough to deal with deep-rooted systemic challenges.

They aspire to grow their business alongside the talent it needs to thrive, to mentor the upcoming generation, and to build ecosystems in which collaboration flourishes.

Their path is one of resilience, creativity, and leading through uncertainty. These women have a track record of taking the lead in handling crises whether they are economic, technological disruption, or the global sustainability agenda with clarity and conviction. This group of ETH Zurich women alumni stands for a formidable force for change.
