Gebr Heinemann Event

Thank you @Gebr. Heinemann for hosting our latest WiTR+ networking night in Hamburg.

Around 30 female executives from travel retail and representatives of Gebr. Heinemann suppliers met for a dinner at ÆNDRÈ restaurant. The welcome speeches were given by our Chair @Sarah Branquinho and @Saskia Möller, Director Legal, Compliance & Sustainability, who has been a member of our Steering Board since the end of 2023.

@Janine Op Het Veld, founder of ÆNDRÈ, spoke about her career, challenges in her industry as a woman and her mission to contribute to sustainability in the world with her food. In a very personal keynote speech, @Kerstin Schepers, Managing Director Heinemann Cruise Liner Global GmbH Retail, addressed the importance of motivation, confidence and trust in oneself and combined this with key insights from her own personal and professional experience.

“We are delighted that the second WiTR+ networking event we´ve hosted as Gebr. Heinemann was so well received,” says Saskia Möller. “We chose ÆNDRÈ because it is run by a very committed intercultural team of women and because it focuses on sustainability, with high-quality vegan and seasonal dishes and food sharing. In both my roles at Gebr. Heinemann and WiTR+, it is very important to me to combine personal, human-centric exchange with sustainability.”

A fundraiser for FRASI´s “Bike to School” project in Sri Lanka, which we significantly support this year, also contributes to the sustainability aspect. Gebr. Heinemann has kindly agreed to double the amount raised. We would like to express our sincere thanks.

Many thanks also to all wonderful women who joined and made our Hamburg event another great opportunity to learn from, inspire and support each other.
