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," explains the Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics, Professor Dr Burkhard Hehenkamp.
Dr Yvonne Groening was very pleased and touched by her induction into the Hall of Fame: "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 driving force for studying and teaching or as an attractive employer in the region."
