FTD ranks Germany's most influential Business Women

For the third consecutive year a distinguished jury has identified the 25 most successful business women in Germany for the Financial Times. The newspaper stresses that the selection of candidates is becoming increasingly difficult as more and more female decision makers move into top positions - but still lags behind and is far away from a satisfying situation. The FTD ranking "Germany's most influential business women" also lists DLD Co-Founder and Managing Director Stephanie Czerny.

FTD justifies this decision with the following lines: "In the conference intense German media industry, the conference Digital Life Design (DLD) provides glamour. Each year the Hubert Burda Media publishing house brings the German digital scene together with the crème de la crème of Silicon Valley. Stephanie Czerny has invented the event together with Marcel Reichart. Ms. Czerny has held various positions at Burda since 1995. With DLD she has pushed the traditional print media house into the digital age."
