Judith Wiese

For me, trust, empowerment, and responsibility form the fundament of what makes people and organizations thrive. Therefore, my ambition as Chief People and Sustainability Officer of Siemens is to drive an inclusive and empowering culture that paves the way for continuous transformation. To foster an environment that is supportive, inclusive and conducive to learning. An environment in which people can thrive and contribute at their best. Furthermore, I’m passionate about sustainability and I believe that what’s good for our business and what’s good for people and our planet go hand in hand. Companies have a responsibility to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals through their products, solutions, responsible business practices, strategic partnerships and targeted community activities. My goal is to accelerate our sustainability ambition to help solve the world’s biggest challenges.
