Ronald Gerstl

Ronald Gerstl has an international background. He was born in Budapest to a Hungarian mother and a father born in Curacao, Netherlands West Indies, where he grew up. Along the way he became multilingual in English, Spanish, Dutch, Papiamentu (the native tongue of Curacao), as well as ability in other languages.

His family moved to Caracas, Venezuela, and he went off to New England for his education. He attended prep school at The Taft School in Connecticut and, thereafter, Harvard where he received his bachelor's degree. Later he obtained a graduate degree from Columbia University in New York.

He lived in Caracas off and on for some thirty years. His early career experience was in marketing and advertising with leading consumer products companies. Subsequently, he founded MAXECON Executive Search Consultants to assist multinational corporations with their executive requirements. He moved to Miami to expand the firm's reach throughout Latin America.

He is married to the former Suzanne Lesh from Indianapolis. Their children, Jennifer and Stephanie, and grandchildren live nearby Palm Beach County. He has traveled extensively, plays lousy golf, and enjoys reading nonfiction. Ron is a geography whiz who rarely misses the answer to questions on related fields on television's Jeopardy.
