Jan Kühl (M)
Managing Partner
In Polaris, we believe in supporting equal opportunity for all genders and we firmly believe in gender diversity as a value creator. Gender diversity is therefore a key priority for us. We acknowledge that as a private equity fund manager, Polaris is a large employer and owner with the ability to impact and drive forward gender equality at top level management and in Board of Directors representation of our portfolio companies. With a current underrepresentation of women both at Polaris Management and in most portfolio companies’ Management and Board of Directors, working to achieve a better balance in the representation of genders is an imperative for us, which will require a strong focus and action in the coming years. As part of our efforts, we support the Women's Empowerment Principles and use them to guide our work.
