PANDA brings women in leadership together - in a curated network and a space for exchange, mutual support, and personal as well as professional growth.
The PANDA Story
Why PANDA? There's a parallel between pandas and women in leadership: they're rare. One might argue that women in executive positions are at least not threatened with extinction. While that's encouraging, it's not enough for us. We want more of this species.
PANDA was launched in 2013 by Isabelle Hoyer and Stuart B. Cameron with an event and an initial group of 100 women in Berlin. Since then, PANDA has developed into one of the most established networks for women in leadership in Germany.
The Panda Mission
Become part of a curated community of women in leadership – and those who aspire to be.
50/50 – Our Why
We stand for genuine power distribution: 50% women in leadership. Visible, effective, and self-evident – at all levels, in all industries.
Cooperation – our principle
We are breaking down competitive patterns and pooling energy for more female leadership – in a spirit of solidarity, constructive and effective action.
Continuity – our strength
Equality is not a trend. We're staying the course – persistently and for the long term. Because change requires perseverance, conviction, and clear goals.
Your network for real connection
Connection arises where shared values are lived – they are the basis for trust, cooperation and change.

Community & Cooperation
We believe in genuine collaboration instead of competition. We support, inspire, and strengthen each other and do not think in silos. Joining forces with other initiatives is part of that for us.
Design will & attitude
We are not satisfied with the status quo: 50% women in leadership - we want to actively shape this, open up paths, walk them and pave the way for others.
Diversity & Openness
We celebrate diversity as a strength. Different life paths, experiences, and perspectives are what make us a powerful and relevant network. Discriminatory and exclusionary ideas have no place here.
PANDA Ambassadors
Over 100 volunteer ambassadors bring the PANDA network to life with their energy. They shape events and topics – throughout Germany and with diverse areas of focus. Our community thrives on their efforts – and for that, we say THANK YOU! 🫶🏼
OUR TEAM
Our small team rocks events, keeps the network together, works on our offerings – and finally wants to see more women in leadership! 100% remote, 100% dedicated to the cause.
