Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerald Host is an Associate Partner and seasoned corporate development leader with nine years of focused experience and a track record of advising on and executing over $4 billion in transactions across M&A, divestments, and venture investments. He has led high-profile acquisitions for major firms like Cognizant and Nokia, managed buy- and sell-side deals across Europe, North America and Australia, and scaled businesses from venture-stage to strategic exits. Based in Bavaria, he combines operator experience as a former general manager with founder instincts—co-founding a blue-economy ROV seafloor restoration startup while advising clients on corporate strategy. Equally at home in boardrooms and technical conversations, he brings an uncommon mix of telecom engineering roots (MSc Telecom, Diplom Physik) and hands-on web3 curiosity, signing his GitHub bio “web3 night shift.”
