After studying European Business in Hull, UK and Münster, Germany, a 27 year career with Freudenberg from 1992 – 2019, honed my leadership skills firstly in the apparel production industry, from Germany, to Hong Kong, Australasia, Turkey through North and Central America. Thereafter in the footwear production industry, finally heading-up Freudenberg’s global shoe components business unit, in charge of the global strategy.
After a brief intermezzo outside Freudenberg from 2019 – 2022, I decided to set-up my own shoe components agency, “Morethenticity”, partnering with Freudenberg Peformance Materials and Longqi International. Both family-owned companies, at either end of the scale, are driven by sustainable innovation and sharp customer focus.
