Innovation reporter, author, and university lecturer
Presentations from experience, for experience.
As a best-selling author and lecturer at the Managementschool St. Gallen, Gerriet Danz examines in his lectures and keynotes the conditions under which people can think outside of the box and innovate. In Silicon Valley, he explored the prerequisites for how one can find a new path – past the thoughts and habits that stand as obstacles. As the developer of the KREATORIK© innovation technique, Gerriet Danz motivates, fosters courage, breaks patterns and inspires new thinking.
The foundation to accomplish this was laid when Gerriet Danz served as Creative Director of the international advertising company BBDO. In this leadership role, he supported global, as well as national blue chip companies in developing and communicating innovations. After an intermediate period as a developer and author of innovative television formats, and as a TV presenter (Spiegel TV, VOX News, Jeopardy), he decided to pass on his knowledge as an entrepreneur, coach, speaker, and author.
