About us

The CEO Leadership Series is the flagship event series of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) at the Heilbronn campus.

The goal of the event series is to connect top managers with young students in order to promote a fruitful dialogue. The guests first hold a panel discussion with the host about their careers and organizations, and then respond to questions from the students in a Q&A session. 

This gives students valuable insights into the fascinating and exciting life and work of successful and renowned managers at an early stage, and become familiar with different companies, products, and brands.
