He holds a PhD in Organization Management with a Specialization in Leadership and a Masters in Education.

In this very special episode of True Power, I speak with Gerardo Segat. Gerardo worked for 20 years as a CEO, chairman and entrepreneur.

Gerardo shares the extraordinary story of negotiating the sale of a high-profile Italian soccer club and how the experience of the deal almost falling through at the 11th hour unexpectedly led to the realisation that the path he was on was not fully aligned with his humanity or his true calling.

Today, Gerardo is working as an international leadership coach with the purpose of humanising leaders and organisations. He embodies a playful, positive and contagious energy and is a leader who is committed to ‘playing big’. During our conversation, Gerardo explains how his latest creation, a performing arts show ‘Out As Humans’, is changing the way leaders make important decisions.

Gerardo studied Business Economics is Milan, and also holds a Masters of Law from the London School of Economics.

He lives in Lugano, the Italian-speaking region of southern Switzerland. Connect with Gerardo on LinkedIn.
