OnTheSunnieSide – mit Petra Ehmann
#F15 – OnTheSunnieSide – Petra is a digital leader, global citizen and ambassador for women in tech.
All things digital is her core discipline.
She currently heads up global product partnerships for Augmented Reality at Google and set the foundations to her success early on.
She graduated from ETH Zurich with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering and from Stanford University with a Master of Science in Management Science and Engineering.
The Googler is by nature a global citizen who works across multiple regions and who incorporated internationality into her DNA starting in her childhood: she grew up in Bolivia and later lived, studied or worked in Brazil, China, Mexico, the US, Germany and Switzerland. The role of an ambassador in tech suits the passionate and eloquent German citizen very well. She uses her voice to provide the stage for talented women in tech as a board member at We Shape Tech and an advisory board member at Equal Voice. Besides being a digital leader, global citizen and ambassador, she passionately brings in her tech expertise to the publicly traded Bossard holding as a member of the board of directors and as member of the board of trustees at the Swiss Science and Technology Center Technorama. Handelszeitung and Bilanz recognized her work by nominating her as a Top 100 Digital Shaper of Switzerland and Women in Business awarded her as Top 100 Women in Business in Switzerland.
