More about Peter Gerdemann

Credo

As an expert in communication, brand and marketing, I move reliably in the intersection of business, science, politics and society. My aim is to build trusting relationships between actors in these fields. Strategic communication is the means of choice. However, it only has an effect in its implementation. That’s why I write confidently in German and English, moderate and present, manage and deliver content results-oriented and in top quality. Communication Consulting and Professional Publishing from an experienced source.

Topics

Technology-driven change, international and integrated communication and brand management are red threads of my thirty years of professional experience. My focus is B2B, preferably the complex and critical subjects that are in need of explanation. I support and accompany companies and institutions of all kinds and sizes, nationally and internationally. Digital transformation is my greatest passion, it was already when it was far from being called that.

  • PwC’s engagement as a Global Solutions Initiative Partner (2016-2019)
