Ing. Günter Lukas, MSc
SENIOR CONSULTANT, TRAINER, COACH
After completing my technical training at the HTL Hollabrunn, I gained my first professional experience as a software developer and project manager in telecommunications. Subsequently, I was entrusted with various management positions, most recently as Head of Software Development and IT Solutions, responsible for around 650 employees in Austria, Southeast Europe and China. After the spin-off of this division into an independent company, I was appointed managing director under company and trade law. I founded my own consulting company in 2010 and have worked as a management consultant and systemic coach, focusing on organisational transformation and leadership development.
I have been part of the Coverdale Austria team since 2015 and a member of the core team, partner and authorised signatory since 2016.
My private interests are my family, travelling, motorcycling and various sports (squash, diving, and some others).

my approach
My self-image is to accompany and support people and organisations in developing their potential. The focus is on activating and further developing previously hidden resources. I try to achieve this with great appreciation and tailor-made, practical, and solution-oriented concepts for my customers. The basis is a partnership and trusting cooperation, in which humour can also play an important role.
