Thamina Stoll is a Women’s Advancement & Diversity Advocate, B2B Marketing & Sales Expert, Podcast Host, Personal Finance Coach, Startup Advisor, Board Member, Angel Investor, Content Creator, and Speaker.
As Senior Client Solutions Manager at LinkedIn, Thamina supports a Fortune 30 client with digital marketing strategy to drive optimized Corporate Reputation, Employer Branding, and Customer Acquisition. She has generated and influenced eight figures in revenue for LinkedIn across EMEA and NAMER over the past four years, and was promoted four times in 4.5 years. Thamina currently serves on the Global Leadership Team for Women@ LinkedIn as the youngest member in company history.
As Host of the Give Her Dollars podcast, Thamina is passionate about helping women build wealth for themselves and other women. Her guests include several Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees and award-winning entrepreneurs, including Tori Dunlap, Founder of Her First $100k, Mrs. New York City 2019, Mina Black, and Elizabeth Galbut, Co-Founder of SoGal.
In 2021, Thamina was diagnosed with the chronic disease lipedema and was confronted with the startling reality of premature fertility decline in her twenties the following year. These experiences catalyzed her evolution into a passionate advocate for women's health.

A German native, Thamina left her home town of Munich at the age of 20 to move to the US by herself after getting accepted to several competitive study abroad programs including Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, and Duke. In late 2018, Thamina moved to Dublin, Ireland after accepting an offer to join LinkedIn’s prestigious Business Leadership Program. In 2022, she was offered a role in New York to join LinkedIn’s newly formed Strategic Accounts team, which manages the company’s Top 50 clients, making Thamina not only the first person in her previous org to have been transferred to the US but also the youngest employee and only non-native English speaker to join the team.
In 2023, Thamina parlayed her personal experiences with premature fertility decline into a more concrete role, joining the female-founded fertility preservation start-up, Blooming Eve, as an advisor and early investor.
Thamina recently joined the advisory board of ACI Consulting, one of Europe’s leading diversity consulting firms, co-founded by Tijen Onaran, one of Germany’s most influential entrepreneurs and thought leaders.
Thamina’s work has been featured in global outlets such as Thrive Global, Create & Cultivate, Nasdaq as well as across several podcasts. Thamina was also named one of Germany’s “100 Women of the Year” in 2022 by FOCUS Magazine, alongside honorees such as the President of the European Commission and Germany's Minister for Foreign Affairs.
She currently serves on the DukeNY Women’s Forum Executive Committee and is a mentor and guest judge for Duke’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program.

Despite often being the youngest and only non-native English speaker in professional settings, Thamina thrives and excels, breaking barriers and leading by example.
Her commitment to breaking down societal taboos extends to addressing stigmatized topics, such as mental health, depression, chronic illness, and fertility preservation, creating space for open discussions and becoming a catalyst for change. Thamina's authenticity and vulnerability are truly remarkable. She fearlessly leverages her personal experiences, such as premature fertility decline & chronic illness, to promote societal change.
Thamina's journey and resilience serve as an inspiration to others, proving that one's age, gender, health, accent, or immigration status should never hinder success. Her commitment to being a true role model extends beyond her personal accomplishments, as she generously shines the spotlight on other women, uplifting and empowering them to pursue their dreams.
Thamina's influence reaches far beyond her immediate circles. With a career and life experience spanning multiple countries, she has built a diverse network across Europe and North America. She is creating and holding space to provide judgement free education and access, transforming traditionally male-dominated spaces like tech and finance, while raising awareness for stigmatized and under-researched topics, including women's health and fertility preservation.
By making these subjects more inclusive, she ensures that women from all backgrounds have access to the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their own bodies and bank accounts.
