About this Event
As part of FACC’s new Business of Sport series, this conference highlights how sport can be a powerful driver of market entry, innovation, and brand strategy.
Built to Perform: How Gerflor Won the U.S. Market tells the story of a French company that successfully adapted to the American sports business ecosystem through strategic innovation, cultural agility, and a sharp portfolio approach.
The discussion will explore:
- The U.S. sports market as a business accelerator and entry point
- Strategic adaptation through innovation, leadership, and brand portfolio management
- How sport serves as a platform for performance, credibility, and broader market impact
Featuring Michel Rochard, Director Sport & Education at Gerflor, interviewed by Jean-Pierre Le Cannelier, Founder & President of Marketing Movers, this conversation offers a concrete, business-driven perspective on international growth through sport.
