Dr Yvonne Groening, Managing Partner of myconsult GmbH and Managing Director of myndsoft GmbH, was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Faculty of Economics at Paderborn University as a successful founder and entrepreneur.

Groening completed her training as an industrial clerk at Varta Batterie AG in Hanover before studying business administration at the Otto Friedrich University in Bamberg. She then completed her doctorate at the Faculty of Economics at Paderborn University. After completing her doctorate, she founded myconsult GmbH in 2003 together with Dr Stephan Kassanke and Dr Markus Toschläger, of which she has been a managing partner ever since. The management and IT consultancy is based in Salzkotten and employs more than 40 people. Among other honours, myconsult GmbH has been awarded the quality label ‘Unternehmensgründung aus der Paderborn University’. In addition, the three managing directors founded myndsoft GmbH in 2020. Dr Groening is also the 1st Chairwoman of heder:LAB e. V., is a commercial judge at the Paderborn Local and Regional Court, a member of the Lions Club Paderborn-Drei Hasen and a member of the BDVT e. V. European Training Award jury. ‘Dr Groening is socially and civically committed, is actively involved in the advancement of women and has been closely associated with the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics for many years. Her impressive career serves as inspiration and motivation for the graduates of our faculty. Inclusion in the Hall of Fame is therefore more than justified, if not long overdue,’ says the Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics.

Groening: ‘I am touched and also proud to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. The already very close connection to the faculty and the people involved has been steadily strengthened in recent years. As a founder from Paderborn University, I am not only aware of my roots, but also actively shape the cooperation with the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. My two companies myconsult and myndsoft, as well as myself as an entrepreneur, benefit immensely from the cooperation that has developed over the last 20 years, e.g. in joint research projects, as a source of inspiration for studying and teaching or as an attractive employer in the region.’

The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Paderborn University is honouring the outstanding work of its alumna in business and public life by inducting her.

The Hall of Fame will also be presented digitally.
