Deloitte consumer products leader, Vanessa Matthijssen said, “Brands are in a constant battle to remain relevant and maintain that all important connection with their consumer. In this highly competitive industry, expanding the depth of expertise in our consumer practice further is crucial as our clients navigate the disruptive environment, whether that be digital, regulatory or societal expectations, and ensuring they build long-term profitable growth.”
Deloitte retail, wholesale and distribution leader, David White added, “It is a transformative time in an omnichannel world. The shopper is clearly in the driver’s seat, enabled by technology to remain constantly connected and more empowered than ever before.
“Retailers and consumer product companies cannot underestimate the profound influence the digital sphere has on today’s consumer, whilst not neglecting the importance of their bricks-and-mortar operations. As a market-leading consumer practice in Australia, bringing the best people in the sector to our team is central to understanding and guiding our clients through these times.”
