Business
My name is Renate Imoberdorf and I work at DHL Consulting as Head of HR & COO. DHL Consulting is the internal consulting arm of Deutsche Post DHL - we advise our own Group as well as external companies with a team of around 120 consultants in four locations (Bonn, Miami, Singapore and Shanghai). I studied plant biology. After finishing my studies, I was very determined to go into research and spend a few years in the lab with duckweed. But I also had some doubts whether all my skills would come into play in a university career, so I applied widely and then actually got "stuck" at one of the big strategy consultancies. At McKinsey & Company, I was able to get to know different industries, worked in different countries and grew personally through the challenges. But my path was never straight, because I took time off again and again due to the birth of my four sons, tried out new things (e.g. an excursion into the start-up world as well as longer activities in universities) and finally ended up here at DHL Consulting. I would be delighted if you, as my mentee, could help me understand the career aspirations and requirements of the younger generation and help me understand channels and other formats for addressing young target groups. I would be happy to develop new ideas for recruiting young talent together with you.

Studied social pedagogy and founder of EcoYou, a sustainable company with zero waste products and a big heart for the environment. So social pedagogue I worked at the youth welfare office for 3 years. But the job did not fulfill me and left me little freedom. In search of new challenges in connection with my wanderlust I finally ended up in Bali. Here I became aware of the digital nomadic scene and the enormous business opportunities. I quickly started my own project with my business partner in May 2017. The project EcoYou (https://ecoyou.de/) grew up quite fast and soon we could make a good living from it. With a great community and a team of now 10 wonderful people, EcoYou has developed into a successful company. I love being an entrepreneur and philanthropist, thinking big and communicating social values. I especially like the topics: management, marketing, leadership, corporate values, monetization, automation, outsourcing, finance, customer support and the right mind- and moneymind set. I like to support women in the areas of founding, big thinking, values, visions, management, customer passion, systematization, monetization and finances. Important to me are openness, wanting to make a positive difference in the world and kindness. My motto for success: Kindness and Positivity are the key to true success.

Enthusiastic eater, humorous networker and love for Neo-Berliner: Katharina Raue has dedicated her life to the excessive enjoyment. Prescribed in the double sense, as a senior editor of ROLLING PIN for many years, she was instrumental in establishing the specialist magazine for the gastronomy and hotel industry among the most successful in the German-speaking market and making its contents - even as a presenter - accessible to events such as CHEFDAYS. As a result, she knows the restaurant industry from the ff, recognizes trends before they happen and loves all the insane people in it and the madness of it. Born in 1980 in Austria, she moved to London at the age of 17 to study design & fine arts. But because the interests were manifold, it continued with molecular microbiology and finally German studies in Graz. What followed were years in which it was demanded and promoted, the principle of performance has since been a priority for Katharina Raue. After her successful time in Austria, Katharina Raue is now undergoing a major career change and is starting her new career. With her own column for the food magazine B-EAT and the writing of cookbooks, she remains true to her writing, but with her head in the clouds and mentally ready for new creative challenges. As a FeMentor, she will listen, ask smart questions, press her finger on the wound, hold hands, drive, kick the butt, motivate, stare together into the clouds, savor the upcoming work with coffee and water milestones. Help to overcome mental hurdles and pave the way to success with these stones. Just knocking praise on the back helps nobody to question themselves in constructive discussions. Anyone who does not need velvet gloves to touch, but someone with whom they climb into the boxing ring together, that's right with Katharina Raue. And last but not least: Together with her husband, Berlin's 2-star chef Tim Raue, she launched the Kiez Verein Perspectives and Opportunities in order to provide young people from Kreuzberg with internships and further education courses in the catering industry with a future perspective.
