Berlin - Astrid Arndt has now been in her new job for nearly a week, the first woman on the board of Berlin online fashion superstar Zalando. She became Chief People Officer 1 April and is responsible for shaping corporate culture and human resources at the company, which was founded in 2008 and will soon join Germany's benchmark DAX stock index.
Arndt joined the retailer three years ago, also in human resources, quickly making her mark with ideas for the future of work and new employee development programmes. Some of her initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion at the company are already bearing fruit.
