SPORT BUSINESS CONSULTANCY & MANAGEMENT

GERNOT TREBSCHE - GENERAL MANAGER & FOUNDER

I have been involved with many sport and eyewear brands over the last 22 years, always showing a great passion for all types of sports. Working for several leading global brands has helped me develop strong skills in Sales, Marketing, R&D and Product Management. In my recent duties I had global responsibilities, across several brands, for delivering both income statement and working capital results. I have a very charismatic leadership style, a goal oriented mindset and consistent follow through coupled with a strong entrepreneurial spirit which are assets to any organization. I have utilized these skillsets to establish roadmaps for turning around brand identities and the financials. These plans included brand, product, operations and organization structure considerations.

SERVICES

I am a professional sport business expert who is providing advices and support in
areas such as:

– Portfolio strategy and driving growth
– Improving business unit performance
– Brand positioning
– Segmentation and brand strategy to improve targeting
– Driving effectiveness for greater return on investment
– Sales and marketing strategy support

Furthermore, I support companies and investors in planned acquisitions or in sale processes. The target is to advise companies and investors by developing the right pre-deal strategy. Further activities are to identify business risks, opportunities and future growth potential and to be supportive in negotiations and meetings that deliver synergies and improvements. I offer a very strong global network for any kind of executive and distribution partner search, within the sports and eyewear industry. I support companies in finding the right athletes for communication activities and as opinion leaders. Sponsorship activities and relevant price structure in the market are very familiar to me. I am happy to interim serve in different management positions. I am a very experienced presenter and available for any kind of event.

When we met, Gernot was in a sales management role but it was clear that his skills, experiences, and leadership qualities made him an ideal candidate for a general management position. I watched him create and execute strategies across all functional areas of the business including sales, marketing and product creation. I can recommend Gernot to any company looking for a passionate and experienced executive.

Gernot’s professionalism and hands-on mentality is what made the brands in Europe great again. He has a very clear way of looking at things and finding solutions when problems occur. He is very driven and as a result of that he can really motivate people to give their best, both personnel as customers.
