Magdalena Rogl: From dream job to Microsoft manager
Today at Gärtnerplatz in Munich you will meet a remarkable personality: Magdalena Rogl, a Microsoft manager with an inspiring story. She originally wanted to become a child educator because working with people, especially children, means a lot to her. But life took a different turn. After dropping out of school in 2003 at just 16 and an unplanned pregnancy in which she had to make quick decisions, her path developed unexpectedly.
After the birth of her first child, Magdalena quickly found her way back into the job market. Despite the challenges that came with being a single parent, she remained undeterred. Her commitment eventually led her from the media industry to corporate communications, a direction she took without any formal training. “I wanted to be independent,” she says. In 2016, she was hired by Microsoft, where she not only took on HR responsibilities but was also viewed as a valued colleague.
Emotional intelligence in focus
A central topic that Rogl pursues with passion in her career is emotional intelligence in the world of work. Many people hide their emotions in a professional context, which makes them critical. Instead of suppressing feelings, she advocates showing them openly. Her publication “MitGefühl” and her lectures aim to raise awareness of the role of empathy in companies. “We often see that emotional intelligence is neglected in corporate culture,” says Rogl. She wants to be an empathetic leader and encourages her team to show their emotions.
The trend towards promoting empathetic workplaces cannot only be observed in Munich. In the US, over 80% of CEOs recognized that empathy is essential to professional success.

Their mission to shape the working world of tomorrow with empathy, diversity and inclusion is accompanied by a clear goal: to promote a corporate culture that supports innovation, resilience and sustainable success.
