CEO Leadership Series
Gaining Insights into the World of Top Managers
The CEO Leadership Series is the flagship event series of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and takes place at the Heilbronn campus.
The goal of the event series is to connect top managers with students. The guests first hold a panel discussion and then respond to questions from the students. This gives students the opportunity to learn about the fascinating life and work of successful and renowned managers, and become familiar with different companies.
The CEO Leadership Series was inaugurated by the former President of Germany and has featured executives from various companies, including public firms that are part of the AEX 25 (Netherlands), CAC 40 (France), DAX 40 (Germany), Dow Jones 30 (USA), and SMI 20 (Switzerland), among others.
You can watch selected events from the CEO Leadership Series on our YouTube channel.
