Life
Brigitte Mohn is one of six children of Reinhard Mohn (1921–2009), the media entrepreneur and Bertelsmann chairman of many years.[5][6] Her mother, Liz Mohn, holds a number of positions, including chairwoman of the Bertelsmann Verwaltungsgesellschaft shareholders' meeting and vice-chairwoman of the Bertelsmann Stiftung executive board.[7]
After completing her secondary education in 1984, Mohn wanted to become a doctor but chose to study political science, art history and German philology at the universities of Bamberg, Münster and Augsburg.[8][9] In 1993, she received her doctorate from the University of Witten/Herdecke.[1] In 2001, she completed an MBA at WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar, Germany, and the Kellogg School of Management in Evanston, Illinois, United States.[10]
Career
Brigitte Mohn began her career in 1993 as an editor at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.[11] She then joined the Bantam Doubleday Dell publishing group in New York City, where she was head of the Academic Marketing department.[12] She also gained experience in the children's book division at Random House and at Doubleday's book clubs in Canada.[13] From 1997 to 1998, she was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company in Hamburg. She then worked for the multimedia agency Pixelpark in Switzerland until 2000.[9]
Mohn became involved in nonprofit work at the end of 2000.[14] In December 2001, she was appointed chairwoman of the executive board of the German Stroke Foundation,[1] which was established by her mother, Liz Mohn, in 1993.[15] The foundation is committed to improving prevention and early detection of stroke.[16] After joining the Bertelsmann Stiftung in 2002 and serving as a senior manager responsible for projects related to medicine,[13] Mohn was appointed to the foundation's management board at the beginning of 2005.[17][18] As a board member she oversees programs covering a number of issues, including health, communities and civil society.[3] In recognition of her social engagement, Mohn has received numerous awards, including the Honorary Prize for Social Entrepreneurship from the consulting firm Ernst & Young and the Ethics in Business Award from the International Association for Human Values (IAHV).[19][20]
During the first decade of the 21st century, Mohn began taking on a greater role at the Bertelsmann group. In 2008, she joined the Bertelsmann Verwaltungsgesellschaft,[21][22] which controls the voting rights at the Bertelsmann shareholders' meeting.[23] She was also appointed to the group's supervisory board, where she represents the sixth generation of the family that founded and continues to play a role at the media group.[24][25][26] Her appointment was meant to ensure the family's continuity and an ongoing focus on corporate social responsibility within the group.[27]
