Establishment of the
Top Women Academy

More women in top positions—that was the driving idea behind building the database of SER Top Women, featuring women who are board-ready. The initiative emerged from the viewpoint of top executives who claimed they could not find qualified women. Additionally, in early 2021, the women’s quota came into effect, encouraging businesses to appoint more women to supervisory roles.

This is about more than just a societal role; the economy also benefits from better diversity at the top. Until now, solutions have been sought outside of women themselves. The focus has been too much on external factors and raising awareness among men. However, women play the most crucial role in this change. The key lies with women themselves.

Top Women Academy shines a light on this other side, preparing ambitious women to be 'ready to board' by teaching them essential soft skills and focusing on personal development.
