In an extraordinary supervisory board meeting on 09.06.2010, Brigitte Ederer was appointed to the Central Board of Siemens as the new Head of Corporate Human Resources, with special responsibility for the Region Europe, and as Labor Director. The Austrian starts with tailwind, for investors have currently hardly something to carp on at Siemens. Nevertheless, there will be no time to breathe deeply.
From a media point of view, the fact that Siemens appointed the second woman to the Board of Directors would have probably already passed as confirmation in order to attest the technology group a profound change. On top Siemens has appointed not any woman but Brigitte Ederer, who became known besides her job as President and CEO of Siemens AG Austria and CEO of the Cluster Central-Eastern-Europe for her governmental involvement as a SPÖ delegate and professed socialist. She of all things is now moving onto one of the most important Siemens group posts.
The 54-year-old economist will have to prove whether her political and diplomatic skills, that resulted in her post of a Secretary of State for European affairs, also works on the large, international Siemens stage.
