Looking Ahead at Nordstrom-King of Prussia
“Achieving the right look” in fashion and in business was the theme as earlier this month, more than 50 executives from metro-Philadelphia private equity funds, middle-market businesses, and professional services firms joined CMF at Nordstrom-King of Prussia for a "2010 Outlook" on business attire and business operations.
After Nordstrom’s overview of men’s and women’s executive fashion trends, the program’s focus turned to a panel of economic and M&A experts – comprised of Mark Luschini, Chief Investment Strategist, Janney Montgomery Scott; Richard Infantino, Partner, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services; and Scott Warren, Managing Partner, Milestone Partners. Using CMF’s annual “Predictions from the Center Mid-Field” as a conversation-starter, the panel offered their insights on what the 2010 economic landscape implies for middle-market businesses and investments.
While the overall economic sentiment from the panel was one of cautious optimism, with Mark Luschini providing macroeconomic data-driven perspective and Scott Warren and Richard Infantino providing anecdotal data on trends in their industries, attendees’ feedback on the venue and content was upbeat. The response to this event suggests that regularly making connections and sharing quantitative and qualitative insights holds high relevance for decision-making in what’s expected to be a dynamic 2010 and 2011.
