Ralf Borchert builds what works and fixes what doesn’t.


I was born in Germany. I was raised in Hong Kong. I learned early that in hospitality, nothing happens unless someone makes it happen.

I trained at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg. I worked openings for Westin. I led procurement for Mandarin Oriental; introducing joint purchasing and operational systems across the group.

I’ve fixed supply chains. I’ve led procurement at The Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels and built procurement academies at The Peninsula Hotels. I’ve led recovery programs for airlines and operational turnarounds for business units.

I moved into executive search because I knew hiring was the real leverage point. No system works without the right people.

I founded Hospitality Haus after the 2008 crisis; working with hotel groups ready to do the work properly.

But consulting only goes so far. So I built Holedo.

Today, I lead Holedo full-time; building the infrastructure hospitality needs to hire better, faster, and without friction.

I maintain oversight of Hospitality Haus, but my work is Holedo.

That’s where I belong now.
