You have been an important management figure in your company for many years. One year ago, you were deservedly promoted to the management board to join the company’s founder, Dr Georg Wagner, who continues to manage the company. Can you relate to the discussion about quotas for women? Jennifer Forster-Weis: There may be management boards and companies, in which that kind of quota would ensure greater equity on a management level, in relation to the distribution of the sexes on the management level. I am not personally affected by this because my partnership with Dr Georg Wagner has grown ever since my entry into the company together with Dr Wagner. I continue to feel equal, but that was the case from the start, and I believe that equality has always been an integral part of our corporate culture. It makes me happy and proud that we still get on very well and that he shares responsibility for the company with me. We complemented each other well from the beginning because my particular strengths lie in the operation, and he is passionate about our products and new innovations.
