Drayton understood that for Birkenstock the right candidate needed to have European rather than American experience
Apparel & Footwear
Apparel is a global category with the consumer at the forefront of its thinking. That’s why our networks are not just national. But international. Whether they’re in Singapore, Seattle, or Sweden through careful research we will identify the person you need. Our global network, not just of people but also of companies and markets, will be leveraged on your behalf.
It does not matter if you are a manufacturer of a unique garment technology, or the owner of an actual brand, if you need local design expertise, or global supply chain leadership – we have the knowledge and experience to get the right result.
