You work as a manager at MHP, a management consultancy that belongs to Porsche.
What kind of services does MHP offer?
MHP is one of the leading management consultancies in the areas of mobility and digitalization in Germany. The consulting firm was founded in 1996 and is now 82% owned by Porsche AG. (The company name MHP is made up of the names of the two founders "Mieschke" and "Hofmann" and "Partner"). As digitization experts, we deal in particular with issues relating to mobility and manufacturing. Here, a lot revolves around forward-looking topics such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, but also customer experience. In addition to comprehensive IT expertise, we offer our customers above all excellent management and process know-how. We also deal with solutions in the area of digital transformation, for example SAP implementation or issues relating to the handling of big data and digital services. Our customers include major automotive groups and the supplier industry, but we have also implemented projects in the mobility sector.

You are also happy to lend your know-how to the ISM for excursions or for guest lectures. What do you like about the exchange with students?
I always find it exciting to get to know new perspectives. Even though I am "only" about 10 years older than most of the students, a lot has happened in those 10 years. Social media is a good catchword. When it comes to media, Generation Z is much more dynamic, and there is a lot to be learned from them.
Also, I have studied International Management at the ISM myself. Studying at the ISM gave me great pleasure and now I am very happy to pass on my experiences to the students. When I give a guest lecture, I try to give them an authentic insight into the consulting work at MHP and to get them excited about the topic of mobility. I also find it remarkable that the young generation still attracts immense interest in the traditional Porsche brand. I am always positively surprised by the fresh ideas the students bring to a discussion or workshop. Peter Caracciolo, Partner at MHP and Office Head of the Frankfurt office, also participated in several presentations by students. He was so impressed by their achievements that he offered the participants to contact us to start their jobs.
