After her student exchange and internships in Germany, she started her career with us: She was one of 20 people who faced the exciting task of setting up the Singapore office. In this small team she had to take over responsibility very early. With flat hierarchies, early responsibility and early client contact we offered Xiaoqing the environment she needed, to quickly demonstrate her full potential.

Family life and career excellence go hand-in-hand
Konrad Grunewald, a project manager at Inhouse Consulting, Bonn, announced that he wanted to take a year off because his wife had been accepted at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Together we have found a solution to align Konrad’s new perspective with our wish to keep him: In August 2007, he took a year’s parental leave to live in LA with his wife and to have time for his children. Six months after his return Konrad was promoted from Senior Consultant to Project Manager. „I was very happy about how supportive Inhouse Consulting was. It is more than just a matter of work-life balance. Inhouse Consulting aims to develop strong and open-minded personalities.”
