Tasks & Focus Areas
Gerold Kaltenbach brings over 30 years of international C-level experience to the table – including at Oracle, Cargill, Saint-Gobain, Arrow Electronics, Nordzucker, and Landgard. As COO, CFO, and CEO, he has shaped strategic and cultural transformations, M&A integrations, expansions, and restructurings in complex European and global contexts.
He knows leadership from all perspectives – as a board member, managing director, supervisory board member, founder, advisor, and coach. This breadth shapes his systemic approach: with a clear view of the big picture, economic acumen, and a deep understanding of the dynamics of complex systems.
Today, he supports decision-makers and leadership teams as an Executive Coach in phases of profound change – with a focus on leadership effectiveness, systemic responsibility, and sustainable creative power. His work creates clarity, resonance, and orientation in times of change and consciously anchors leadership in the larger context of the system.
In Systemic Team Coaching, he strengthens leadership teams as a collective performance unit – through shared responsibility, sustainable stakeholder relationships, and common strategic orientation. This creates space for co-creation, shared learning, and sustainable impact – beyond silos, toward systemic action and collective effectiveness.
Another focus is on business agility and adaptive leadership. As an Agile Coach & SPC 6.0 (Scaled Agile / SAFe®), he promotes customer-centric, adaptive working methods that transform ideas into effective results. He supports leadership teams in aligning with value streams, overcoming divisional silos, and combining strategic agility with clear value creation.
Gerold Kaltenbach combines economic clarity with systemic reflexivity, cultural sensitivity, and a keen sense for those human patterns, which drive or block transformations. He opens up spaces in which leadership in the 21st century is formed from relationships, reflection, and impact—systemically clear, future-oriented, and connected.
