Hi, my name is Gerald,
I’m here as your travel guide to culture change helping you reach your goals. I’m a German engineer by education and a passionate change leadership coach and performing artist. Living in Germany, Australia and now Shanghai has allowed me to work with people from all Europe, the US, China, Japan, Australia, Korea, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and more. After my Mechanical Engineering (PhD) studies in Chemnitz I started working for Daimler in Stuttgart in 1991 and soon became member in Dieter Zetsche’s change management team. That’s when I began to study culture change, leadership coaching, group dynamics, psychology and transactional analysis. I had the invaluable opportunity to directly learn from most advanced scolars like Edgar H. Schein, David Kantor, Larry Hirschhorn, Wolfgang Looss, Hans Jellouschek, Claus Otto Scharmer, Matthias Varga von Kibed, Richard Timel and more. In 1999 I co-founded deloop management consulting in Stuttgart and in 2015 deloop management consulting Asia. I was fortunate enough to coach many leaders and leadership teams of different cultures globally in companies like DAIMLER, HEIDELBERGER Druck, ATLAS, Lufthansa, HERAEUS, BMW, VW, Evonic, PORSCHE, ASAM, DÜRR, HERAEUS, DEUTSCHE BAHN, Raiffeisen Bank, Rolls Royce and more. My Executive Programs include: Hernstein General Management Program (HGMP) in Vienna, Corporate Entrepreneurship in China (CEIC) with innova in Shanghai, and projects in APAC with OSB international
