About Peter Gerlach, MBA
Peter is a thought provoking and inspirational strategic
growth innovator and leader who thrives on achieving
business longevity and sustainable growth.
Driven by relentless curiosity and his constant learning and
innovative aptitude, Peter adds considerable value to
organisations because of:
• His 25 years of practical, in-depth international
business and multi-sector experience
• His truly bi-lingual English and German, and
• bi-cultural experience, which enables him to communicate with different
nationalities in a down-to-earth, empathetic and personal style that gains
trust and commitment
• His ability and approach to work, with businesses on both the strategic and
people elements to a deep level
Having worked with senior executives and CEO’s across a wide spectrum of different
business sectors in many countries, this makes Peter a true growth strategist in his
field. Clients include: Tom Peters Company, Siemens, Logica, Ricoh, Intel, Infineon,
Ernst & Young, Amadeus and XLN Telecom.
Using the right language as well as being positive and upbeat are key factors in
business, hence Peter co-authored the German version of “Positive Thinking from A-
Z” which was written with one of the best-known authors in the European personal
development scene, Ms. Vera F. Birkenbihl and which sold in access of 16,500 copies
to date. He is also a ‘Distinguished Toastmaster’, an award earned from the largest
communication and leadership organisation, ‘Toastmasters International’ for
leadership and communication excellence; only a few individuals in the world have
this.
Peter strongly believes that in order to have a sustainable business, it is of vital
importance to let go of what we used to do and show curiosity and excitement to do
something we have never done before. This must include the adoption of a culture
of constant innovation, a diverse leadership style, partnerships, transparency and
change. His personality style is personal, thought provoking and pragmatic which
ignites trust and innovation.
Peter holds an MBA, (Master of Business Administration) with Durham University
and resides in London and Germany.
