We are delighted to welcome Souâd Benkredda as the new Board Member of GESTE.

Souâd Benkredda brings not only expertise from the finance and banking sector—currently as a member of the Board of Managing Directors of DZ BANK AG—but also many years of experience in international cooperation in the financial sector. Her personal and professional background, shaped by diverse cultural and international perspectives, makes her a tremendous asset for GESTE, whose work operates precisely at these intersections: fostering dialogue, taking responsibility, and shaping societal development together.

She herself emphasizes that "the work of the GESTE Foundation stands for openness, responsibility, and lived international cooperation—values that accompany me both personally and professionally. I very much look forward to contributing my experience and, together with the Board, setting impulses for a sustainable and collaborative future."

Dear Souâd, warm welcome to the GESTE Board—we look forward to the journey ahead and our collaboration. And soon, also in the GESTE Support Association!
