Life

Eva Kreienkamp spent part of her school time in an Ursuline boarding school in Belgium, and she took her Abitur in Düsseldorf.[2] From 1982 to 1989, Kreienkamp studied mathematics at the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. She began her career at the start-up Amadeus Data Process in Erding in 1989 as a trainee in a computer centre.[3] Starting in 1991, she worked for ten years in the management of the Allianz insurance company, where her last position was Senior Vice President. She then worked for Berlinwasser Holding AG and Berlikomm Telekommunikationsgesellschaft from 2002 to 2003. As early as 2001, Kreienkamp founded FrischCo., a gender and diversity marketing and market research company, together with her wife and another partner.[4][5]

In 2009 Kreienkamp moved to the transport sector and took over first the financial management and then the management of the private railway company Hamburg-Köln-Express (HKX) / RDC Deutschland GmbH. In 2014, both sides parted ways by mutual agreement[2] and after a time out, she moved to Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft.[6] Among other things, she was responsible for the transport concept "Mainzer Mobilität 2030." As Co-Managing Director, she was also responsible for the areas of driving personnel, commercial functions, digitalization and infrastructure projects. At the same time, she was also managing director of CityBahn GmbH for the construction of a tram line between Mainz and Wiesbaden.[5]

In April 2020, the Berlin Senator for Economics, Energy and Operations, Ramona Pop, announced that Kreienkamp would succeed Sigrid Nikutta, who retired as CEO of Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe in 2019.[7]

Kreienkamp was already involved in the Alliance for More Diversity in the Company in the 1990s, and in 1995 she founded an LGBT network there. She is also a co-founder of the network of business women and the association FidAR – Frauen in die Aufsichtsräte.[4] In 2006, Kreienkamp organized the "1st International Gender Marketing Congress."[8]
