What happens when you’ve reached the top of the corporate ladder and decide it’s time to redefine what success means to you?

Vera Schneevoigt knows what it means to build an impressive international career. As a former Chief Digital Officer, she has led diverse teams across three continents. Today, she has stepped into a new chapter as an entrepreneur, angel investor and author.

But her career has also taught her that success isn’t just about the next title or the corner office. It’s about staying open to change, recognizing new opportunities and understanding when it might be time to take a different path.

“When a door closes, another opens.”

We talk about navigating major career transitions, leading across cultures, why listening has become one of Vera’s most important leadership skills and what it takes to embrace change rather than fear it.

Episode 2 of Season 3 of 'She's meant for more' is a conversation about leadership, change and defining success beyond the job title.

What if your career looks great on paper, but you feel like there should be more? Well, you have come to the right episode of your female career podcast.

The first guest of Season 3, Fatima Hussain, is definitely a woman on a mission. She is Head of Legal at LIQID, one of Capital’s Top 40 under 40, and has built an impressive career at companies including Audi and Tesla.

But what makes Fatima especially interesting is what she does beyond her job. She actively challenges stereotypes and inequality and believes that success also means using your position to support others.

“When we move forward, we carry others with us.”

We talk about ambition, high-performance environments, speaking up for what you believe in and what it means to build a successful career while staying true to your values.

 Season 3 of 'She's meant for more' starts with a conversation about career, purpose and being a woman on a mission.
