Leading the way for family businesses

The consumer goods industry is very much dominated by family businesses. The latter, in particular, attribute considerable importance to building a long-term, trusting and discreet relationship with external consulting firms. Convincing advice when filling executive positions and the identification of superior solutions as regards issues of strategy require a relationship of this kind.
