LUXURY
Historically, Luxury Goods companies experience greater resistance against crises than other industries. Even during past economic downturns this sector has created value, thanks to its creativity and innovation. The luxury market is constantly growing and sees, among its fundamental for the medium-long term growth, an increasing demand from the Asian mid class, a greater tendency of the new generation in purchasing luxury goods - alongside to the trend towards sustainability and desire for more responsible buying - and continuous enhancement and development of the digital and e-commerce channels.
In recent years, we have seen how the luxury industry is open to look for talents outside its sector, in order to bring in more structure and a different mindset in their organization.
Due to the Covid-19 crisis, besides supporting core competencies, luxury businesses need to build managerial skills to support the Top Management in transforming business models.
At Unterberger & Partner, we understand that people and their “savoir faire” are fundamental competitive levers in the most successful companies. Over the years, we have been crucial in bringing together some of the world’s most prestigious brands and highly skilled, motivated and successful individuals.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology drives continuous creativity, improvement and evolution, reducing the cost and time for a product, service or idea to come to market. To really exploit the opportunities, you have to go beyond the CIO, to engage with other C-suite executives, many of whom now possess a growing influence on technology-related decisions. Today’s technology is expanding at an extraordinary pace, so it is important to follow industry influencers and thought leaders to stay in the loop and learn new trends and best practices. This is where we come in by combining a deep understanding of the local tissue of every market we serve whilst having the international view that spans two continents. We know the reality of the job market in 2021. We know what moves clients and candidates and our job is to match both.
