Hi,

we are Mahdis & Tanja, the co-founders of the female factor. In 2019 we started the female factor with a big vision to close the gender leadership gap for a more equal business world. Today, we are proud to say that we are reaching over 15 million people world-wide, impacting thousands of women and getting them into leadership position. With 2025 we switched into an advisory board position, handing over the leadership of the company to a new era of leaders.
