More Women in Leadership

The Importance of the Executive Search Process

Increasing the number of women in leadership begins where leadership positions are selected. Female empowerment is part of our DNA.

For more than 40 years, women have shaped our company—as consultants, leaders, and drivers of our international development. Today, this culture is reflected in all the countries where Pendl Piswanger operates: many of our locations are led by women, and diverse perspectives shape the way we work together.

Our ambition: Making qualified women visible

As an executive and expert search consultancy, we support companies in addressing one of their most critical questions: Who takes responsibility? Who shapes the future? Who leads organizations into their next phase?

This is precisely where our commitment lies: we ensure that qualified women are visible, that their competencies are represented in selection processes, and that leadership teams reflect the diversity that successful organizations need.

This impact is even stronger when women are part of the selection and decision-making processes on our side as well. Different perspectives broaden the view—and lead to better decisions.

International Women’s Day 2026 is a welcome occasion to make this development visible. For us, however, it mainly confirms what has shaped our corporate culture for decades: women actively contribute to leadership, business, and the future.

Thank You

A heartfelt thank you goes to all colleagues across the entire Pendl Piswanger Group. Successful collaboration and a diversity of perspectives make our shared success possible.
