Do you want to use cross-cultural competence as a competitive advantage? Then you have come to the right place – welcome to CultureCatch!

CultureCatch helps you develop the communication and collaboration skills needed to achieve cross-cultural and international business success.

 

Are you buying, selling or merging with another company in Stockholm, Santiago or Singapore – or giving a presentation, negotiating a deal or selling a product in Toronto, Torino or Tokyo? Maybe recruiting in Madrid, Manchester or Mumbai?

Whether your organization is multinational or local with partners, markets and customers abroad, traps and challenges remain the same. Overlooking cultural business influence can be your most costly mistake.

Who would you be working with?

 

I, Marit Imeland Gjesme, a Norwegian by origin, founded the cultural consultancy firm CultureCatch in Zurich in 2013. By then, I had lived and worked in Switzerland for many years for the global—and originally Norwegian—pharmaceutical company Nycomed, where I served as Global Head of Learning and Development, working worldwide on talent management, training, and coaching.

 

My academic background includes university degrees in psychology, education, and history of cultures. I am a TEDx speaker with a 25-year career spanning academia, corporate leadership, the development of learning concepts, and the successful delivery of thousands of multicultural leadership development events and team workshops across the globe.

 

I have collaborated closely and long term with world-leading figures in the field of culture, and my clients span all industries and continents—see the client list here.

These experiences have laid the foundation and framework for the work I do today, whether in Scandinavia, Europe, US, Middle East or Asia.

I train, coach and inspire companies, at individual, team- and corporate culture levels.

 

I can help you  adapt your "mental software" for long term international success!
