COPENHAGEN BOARD - THE WOMEN OF TOMORROW
Sophia Burri (she/her)
Chairwoman
Sophia looks Danish, sounds Norwegian, and thinks Silicon Valley, but is Swiss. In fact, she helped build the first femella hub in Zurich and founded femella Cph when relocating there.
Next to leading the CPH team, Sophia holds a MSc in International Business & Politics at CBS and works as a Management Consultant at Implement Consulting Group.
You might think this girl’s day must have more than 24 hours. Apparently so, because on top of all this, Sophia finds time to play tennis/padel, join running clubs, and explore all the hyggelig cafés in the city.
Janine Alder (she/her)
Vice-Chairwoman & Director Marketing, Communication and Community
Overseeing our marketing, communications, and stakeholder activities, there’s nothing Janine can’t handle!
Her diverse skillset stems from work and study experiences across Switzerland, Denmark, the UK, and the US. Janine holds a MSc in Organisation, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and is working as a Data Consultant at Devoteam.
Although her hobbies vary from location to location, in Copenhagen, Janine is a social butterfly, gathering friends for get-togethers and running clubs - if for the running or the pastries afterward, one shall not know.
Anna Larsena (she/her)
Director Events & Head of Grow
Spearheading femella’s events team, Anna also organizes our large-scale public “Grow Event.” With her drive and creativity, she ensures every gathering reflects the energy and spirit of our community.
Anna is undertaking her MSc in Business Administration & Data Science while working as a Student Assistant at Novo Nordisk. This fall semester, however, she is enjoying the beauty of Munich whilst on exchange at LMU.
Anna spends her spare time experimenting with new cooking recipes, travel destinations, and sports activities. Why limit yourself when you can do it all, right?
Lea Mainz (she/her)

If you want to attract and recruit talent from our femella community, you might want to plan a “learn” event with Lea.

If Danish weather allows it, Lea is out running or race-biking. But she also knows how to deal with bad weather. Her favourites? Escaping to Germany (her home country) or living her best granny life with hot chocolate, crocheting, and listening to crime podcasts.
