It is a period of hyper-disruption. First came the health pandemic, then the world was hit by supply disruptions, which sent waves through global supply chains and put upward pressure on prices. Now we are in the midst of an economic disruption — many markets are now dealing with soaring inflation, high levels of corporate indebtedness, rising interest rates and real concerns about recession.

Areas of expertise:
1. Consumer Goods
Certain brands reacted quickly to the need for transformation in 2020 and responded appropriately to the "New Consumer", who had different needs, preferences and habits. Thus, “digitized” brands, with strong communication and a flexible approach to the market stood out. At the same time, other brands are lagging behind.
2. Retail
In the last 10 years, modern retail has undergone a rapid transformation, which has only been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Retailers have been forced to adapt to the new reality in order to maintain their relevance and growth potential.
