Our graduates have their say

Dr. Stefan Niemeier
Managing Partner | ARENIT / HHL alumnus | Diploma program

After graduating from HHL, I spent 17 years at McKinsey and became a Senior Partner. HHL had prepared me well for consulting and I enjoyed it a lot. Eventually, I wanted to do something new and left McKinsey together with a colleague to found ARENIT. True to HHL values, ARENIT is an entrepreneurial place. We buy well established family-owned companies to develop them with a long-term perspective.

Clemens Castell
Founder | homewise GmbH / HHL alumnus | M.Sc. program

My last two questions to HHL’s Career Team were: How do I get out of my job without any harm – and what will I do afterwards? This was followed by a coaching which consisted of several personal consultations, a career orientation workshop and receiving alumni contacts to exchange experiences. The entire consultation was very individual, unexpectedly open and helpful. A sincere thank you to the team for the great support.

Pamela Taylor
Director Employer Branding & Talent Acquisition | Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA / HHL alumna | MBA program

After seeing Bertelsmann’s on-campus presentation at HHL and learning how interested they are in international profiles, I approached the company representative at the get-together afterwards to learn about internship opportunities in HR. One thing lead to another, and  I ended up landing an internship in Talent Management at Bertelsmann’s corporate headquarters. This internship turned into a job offer, and now I am an Associate in Corporate Management Development, focusing on university relations and employer branding.
My first day of work was actually coming to HHL to do a company presentation! Talk about full circle!

During my time at Accenture we were able to identify top talents who match our DNA during the on-campus recruiting events. I appreciate the specific mindset of HHL students a lot.
