About me

Gerald received a cum laude degree in Business Administration from the European Business School and an MBA from the Thunderbird University in Phoenix (USA). In 1996 he joined Hoechst AG (now Aventis), working for the Board of Directors in Germany and Asia in sales and marketing, then moved to IBM Global Services leading the development of the first German Marketplace for Deutsche Post AG.

At the age of 25, he and two former colleagues founded PORTUM AG, the first European provider for b2b reverse online auction and sourcing events and grew revenues within 18 months from 0 to 5 Mio. €. With a trading volume of more than 10 Bn. € and offices in France, Spain, Germany, UK and the USA, Portum quickly became the leading european providers for internet-based sourcing and supplier management solutions with clients such as Siemens, EADS, Deutsche Telekom and TOTAL. The company was sold in 2006 to IBX, the leading european e-marketplace and Gerald created Omnis Mundi, a network of entrepreneurs, who invest in and support young companies to grow their business. One of the recent ventures include BuyVIP, an exclusive eCommerce community for lifestyle and fashion products with more than 10 Mio. members, 320 members and offices in Spain, Germany and Italy. The company was sold to Amazon.com

Wirtschaftswoche and Financial Times voted GH one of the Top 100 German masterminds on e-business. He was given the Budding Entrepreneur Award by GrowthPlus Top500 for demonstrating outstanding entrepreneurial skills at a young age and was twice finalist in the competition “Entrepreneur of the year”, sponsored by SAP, Deutsche Bank and Cap Gemini Ernst and Young. His industry focus includes software, on demand services and high tech. He also is a member of Entrepreneurs Organisation (EO) Germany.
