  • Gereon has been a tremendous resource providing thoughtful guidance and insights into complex sales. Data-driven, yes. Process-oriented, yes. But also mindful of the human psychology between two parties attempting to find a solution. This is essential. I look forward to working closely with Gereon over the coming years and look forward to seeing others make use of his talents.

  • Gereon is an absolute legend. He exudes a remarkable combination of structure, goal orientation, and exceptional planning skills. Moreover, he is a genuinely kind individual with a keen sense of situational awareness. 21. Consulting played an instrumental role in assisting us with the internationalization process into the USA. For a German company to have a German partner on the ground was nothing short of fantastic. We would gladly work with them again.

My name is Gereon Hempel,

CEO & Founder of 21. Consulting.

In my experience, most Supply Chain Consulting firms don’t have in depth knowledge & tell you what you already know.
