Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast! The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs. In this episode In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Helena Pleinert, Managing Partner & CEO of Pleinert & Partner. Helena's fascination with organisational structures and their impact on teams and groups led her to pursue a career in business, despite initial advice to study physics. Excelling in her physics engineering studies, she obtained a Ph.D. from the prestigious Swiss Institute of Technology. However, her passion for organisational dynamics persisted, drawing her towards projects related to organisation design during her tenure as a quantitative analyst in investment management. This presented a challenge as she balanced her physics background with her deep interest in organisational theory. Recognizing her talent and passion for organisation design, Helena founded Pleinert and Partner, a pioneering company focused on exploring new organisation models and remote work. For 17 years, the company has led the way in innovative organisational practices, implementing remote work environments ahead of the mainstream trend. Helena's expertise has enabled numerous European companies to transform their structures and embrace new work approaches.

Join us to uncover the impact of her experiences and be inspired by her journey of turning passion into a thriving business.
