Jasmin Wölke moderates panel discussions in Wiesbaden, from expert panels at the RheinMain CongressCenter to evening rounds at the Kurhaus. She hosts in English and German and turns prepared positions into an actual conversation.
Panels where insurance, finance and state politics meet
Panels in Wiesbaden have a particular cast. The city is an insurance and finance hub, home to institutions such as R+V, Aareal Bank and SCHUFA, and at the same time the capital of Hesse with ministries and federal agencies. So the stage often seats a board member, a regulator, an association representative and a politician side by side. The questions on the table concern all four: regulation and its cost, retirement provision, digital government, artificial intelligence inside audited processes. Each side speaks its own language. The board thinks in figures, the association in positions, the ministry in responsibilities. The moderator has to translate between these languages without favouring any of them.
An audience that weighs every word
In Wiesbaden the room is full of lawyers, actuaries and administration professionals. This audience hears the difference between "we are reviewing" and "we are planning" and remembers both. Jasmin prepares every panel through individual calls with the guests. That is where she finds out where the round genuinely disagrees and which question makes the difference visible. On stage she stays strictly non-partisan, especially when a member of the state government joins the panel. She respects protocol and the tight time windows of political guests without letting the round turn into a sequence of statements. When an experienced speaker dodges, she asks again, more precisely, friendly and persistent.
Experience with leadership rounds on stage
Jasmin has led on-stage conversations with executives at the SAP Tech Leadership Forum, a corporate reference from her industry career. She knows both perspectives: more than ten years of leadership roles at Bosch, SAP and within the Volkswagen Group, and over 500 events moderated. Panels in English or switching between both languages are routine for her, for example when international guests join the stage.
