Gereon Hempel
CEO & Founder
More revenue, more savings & more freedom. All of these were goals he wanted to achieve when he thought about starting his own business in 2023.
After over a decade in procurement at the largest automotive company in the world, he decided to start 21. Consulting.
He wanted to make a difference for mid-market businesses by teaching them strategic procurement, knowledge that not only immediately increases profit margins, but also lets them negotiate more effectively with their clients.
He has made it his mission to not only save small- and medium-sized businesses, but to help them thrive.

"21. Consulting's deep understanding of international procurement processes, combined with their strategic mindset, has led to significant cost savings and operational improvements."
"They are incredibly knowledgeable about global supply chain and procurement. Their knowledge of procurement extends beyond the automotive sector as they helped me in a Sr. Sales role to develop best practices when negotiating contracts with executives at Fortune 500 companies."

"21. Consulting's cross-cultural experience and team-first communication style as well as their determination and high ethical standards make them the procurement leader of the future."
"21. Consulting 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 them over the coming years and look forward to seeing others make use of their knowledge."

Roman Wenz
CEO Otaro GmbH
"21. Consulting exudes a remarkable combination of structure, goal orientation, and exceptional planning skills. [...] 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."
