Nachfolge: Erster Job: Chefin – warum diese Frau für Unternehmensnachfolge wirbt

Munay Zamorano, a 28-year-old woman, is advocating for entrepreneurial succession at the Deutsche Gründer- und Unternehmertag in Berlin. She is not just standing in lines and walking around, but actively engaged in her first of two talks, promoting the idea that succession is like starting a new business, but simpler. Zamorano, who hails from a family of academics, had no prior connection to the real world of business.

She worked as a babysitter at 13, became a kitchen staff member at the Hilton at 16, and later studied Business Administration. Her entrepreneurial journey began when she took over a company as a Werkstudentin and later sold it. She emphasizes that succession is about taking over an existing business, not just starting new ones.

Zamorano's journey is marked by her intuitive decision to buy a failing company, despite her lack of experience and financial resources. She secured 30,000 euros to purchase the business, but faced challenges like dealing with a newborn and resistance from financial advisors. Despite these hurdles, she became the business manager, experiencing both success and setbacks.

Her entrepreneurial mindset, she believes, was forged through self-study, networking, and learning from her mistakes.
