      How do global top female leaders assess the growth opportunities in the polycrisis? What trends do they see in digital transformation and ESG? What personal leadership style is currently important - and what about gender equality and their own career opportunities?

      We asked female executives these and many other questions in the Global Female Leaders Outlook 2023. We believe it is essential to separately highlight their perspectives, experiences, and forecasts in times of profound macroeconomic and geopolitical upheaval and to present their valuable contribution to increasing corporate resilience. The participants are shaping the economic and social future. They show confidence and provide surprising new impulses, as the remarkable results of the study show. 

      Here you will find a first insight into core findings of the publication.

      Global Female Leaders Outlook 2023 continues our series of studies identifying the perspectives of female leaders. It is our fourth edition. Since 2018, 4,195 women from more than 50 countries have participated in our surveys. In 2023, there were 839 top female executives from more than 55 countries, including the U.S., Germany and Brazil with the highest number of respondents. Participants were asked a total of 73 questions.
