Kellogg-WHU EMBA Partners With Forté to Support Women in Business

The Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA, offered by WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management and the Kellogg School of Management, becomes the first German academic program to join Forté, an impressive alliance of more than 200 top companies and schools dedicated to advancing women in business through access to education, professional and personal development, and a community of successful women. From Forté leadership conferences to career-advancing programs for women at all career stages, the partnership with Forté will offer more women, specifically those involved in the Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program, the opportunity to build skills for today’s workplace, expand their networks, and earn essential promotions. Today, this top-level EMBA program’s own network is one resource for participants to find financial aid, something that will also be offered through a planned scholarship from Forté.

“Our partnership with Forté underscores how important female leadership is at WHU—and how our joint Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA Program offers women the best support possible,” said apl. Professor Katrin Baedorf, Program Director for the Kellogg-WHU EMBA.

Since 2001, Forté has made substantial progress toward achieving parity and increasing opportunities for women in business leadership by connecting talented women with its partners, a broad range of innovative business schools, corporations, executive and professional programs, universities, donors, and nonprofit organizations.

“Our partnership with the Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program continues to educate our community on how to support women through the entire career journey, from undergrad to business leadership,” said Elissa Sangster, CEO of Forté. “It’s an honor to work with the Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program to help spread awareness of the importance of women in key leadership roles and overall professional development.”
