• Are you looking for a more than an advisor?
• Do you want to speed up the reorientation of your firm towards technical textiles?
• Is your team undecided regarding which growth option to focus available resources on?
• Is the transformation of promising innovations into commercial success lagging behind?
• Has organic growth reached its limits in meeting your company’s growth targets in technical textiles, nonwovens, or composites?
• Do shareholder interests need to be aligned with the growth perspectives of the firm and the corresponding views and actions of management?

By helping your company address these questions in an advisory role, I can help you add sustainable value to your business.

Deep knowledge of markets, technologies, and competitor/customer clusters in fibers, nonwovens, technical textiles, and composites is essential for value creation “beyond what exists and is known today” in a typical client enterprise.

My unmatched network of industry contacts on a personal level helps to speed up implementation of change, innovation, or growth strategies.

A typical strategy mission would start with a brief strengths and weaknesses assessment of the client’s business (from an external expert’s perspective), an option mapping & SWOT analysis (growth, margin improvement), a definition of the strategy and value chain integration concept, and the implementation planning (business plan and related targets, required actions, KPI’s and milestones, responsibilities, and timing).

Subsequently implementation support can be rendered on a longer-term basis by agreement.

Apart from answering the question of “which options are most attractive for growth and margin improvement”, addressing the question of whether it can be done is fundamental to success - especially in technical textile, nonwoven, and composite markets which are marked by high entry barriers.

I am currently engaged in expert advice strategy missions via my longstanding and successful partnership with the Gherzi Textil Organisation AG in Zurich, Switzerland.
