About Sigmund Floyd
Seasoned global executive, available for full-time, part-time, interim, advisory board roles and consulting. My experience includes 12 years on the ground in China, 6 in Japan, 1.5 in Korea (in US, French and Korean companies) with a successful track record of growth across diverse industries: chemicals, materials, equipment, analytics. 20 years regional P&L and global business development. Expert in growth strategies, joint ventures, startups, shutdowns, turnarounds, investment evaluation. I have engaged in numerous business expansion and turnaround projects with a 90%+ successful track record in execution. My signature strength is based on open-minded evaluation of strategic options and cold-eye objectivity about what it takes to win. I bring my long experience in global markets to bear on difficult and complex problems and issue clear recommendations for growth, retrenchment or exit, executing what I recommend. Examples of my successful execution of critical strategic initiatives: • On-time, on-budget startup of Chinese JV in a highly competitive, time-sensitive environment • Business expansion in Asia doubling sales of a relatively small-share player with low resources • Retained core business by concluding a supply agreement with a strategic customer, averting the risk of their vertical integration which threatened the entire company’s business • Closure of a new but inherently unprofitable operation avoiding disruption to the rest of the company • Developed a solid new global customer base for a startup from grassroots, enabling their expansion with multiple financing rounds My highly unique background includes experience in businesses in different stages of growth, ranging from startups through small and medium enterprises to divisions of Fortune 500 companies.
