As co-founder and co-CEO of FemFinance Ventures, Elly Oldenbourg is dedicated to breaking down outdated structures<br>and creating space for a more inclusive, sustainable approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After more than 12 years as a manager at Google, during which she helped shape the digital transformation from within a global corporation, she now acts as a start-up founder and investor herself. She combines deep tech and management expertise with the question of genuine capital justice and social impact. She also brings this perspective to bear as the author of the business bestseller <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41awWuG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cWORKSHIFT\u201d<\/a><\/strong> (Campus, 2024), as a board member of the World Future Council, and as a guest lecturer at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-elly-oldenbourg-lecture-topics\">Elly Oldenbourg Lecture topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sustainability in business and society<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Female Finance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capital justice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rethinking the economy: capital, power and participation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inclusive and fair investment models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital transformation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transforming outdated structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radical change and the courage to transform<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combining business logic with values-driven leadership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Innovation at the intersection of corporations, start-ups and academia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Elly Oldenbourg is not a theorist; she is a strategist of change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her focus is not solely on the individual financial empowerment of women (Female Finance), but on the systemic level: how must we rethink the economy and investment so that they function fairly and sustainably? At the intersection of business, society and politics, she is a sought-after expert on this transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her keynotes and panel discussions, she bridges the gap between hard business logic and a values-driven approach. Elly Oldenbourg speaks about the power of capital, the courage to embrace radical change, and how we can create structures that not only manage potential but unleash it. With her experience as a bridge-builder between the corporate world, the start-up ecosystem and academic teaching, this half-Greek woman with multicultural roots inspires people not only to question the status quo but to actively and courageously reshape it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elly Oldenbourg is an entrepreneur, former Google manager, bestselling business author and expert on sustainability, female finance and capital justice.
