Ulrike's work experience:
I have worked for almost 30 years in different finance departments holding positions like controlling of subsidiaries, leading the finance departments of local entities and finally being appointed Executive Vice President Finance of an international stock listed company. It is a great experience to work within a global environment and I have learned so much in this diverse world.
Family and a career in business is not a contraction anymore. I have two kids and after taking maternity leave I worked in the field of business development of a telecommunication company before I returned to my roots in Finance.
Ulrike is open for:
build a network for a lifetime.

I'm having trouble deciding who to apply for, how do you pick a good mentor?That all depends on your career goals for the upcoming months- so ask yourself where do you want to be in half a year or year from now. Do you want to expand your company in a certain field? Start your own company? Or side business? Do you want to gain a particular skill set? Or maybe you want to move up within your corporation? Choosing a good mentor FOR YOU depends on a lot of things. But we’ve seen that a good mentor mentee relationship and successful outcomes mainly depends on good chemistry aka. you two get along and that the person can give you relevant advice and know-how that will help to excel in YOUR personal career. So ask yourself: “Will I vibe well with this person?” “How is their career and experience relevant to mine?” “How will it help me get to where I want to be in a certain period of time?” "How could my mentor actually benefit from my knowhow and skillset?"
