SMC – Shyft Management Consulting & Bioshyft Platform

Gerrit worked with me on several projects in the novel food sector from strategy development, business case calculations, circular supply chain planning to conceptual engineering for a diverse set of novel food manufacturing facilities. The deep novel food industry experience of Gerrit and his team, combined with consistent top-quality consulting work, enabled us to confidently navigate in this fast-changing sector. I can certainly recommend working with Gerrit and the SMC team. - George Harrigan (NEOM Director of Novel Foods)

SMC provided excellent support in helping us explore biotechnology innovations, delivering valuable insights that uncovered new opportunities across various food categories. They conducted a thorough outside-in analysis and presented their findings in an engaging workshop, making complex topics both accessible and actionable. What truly stood out was their deep expertise in biotech and foodtech, paired with solid management consulting skills. They challenged our thinking and inspired us with new ideas that we’re eager to explore further in the coming months. A big thank you to the SMC team for their support! I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to drive innovation and embrace new perspectives in their projects. - Andreea Lang//Business Development Strategic Partnerships, Givaudan Taste and Wellbeing

I worked with Gerrit on two strategy consulting projects for a multinational FMCG company and government entity in GCC as senior advisor. Both projects were characterized by global senior management attention, a high intensity / short timeline and ambitious strategic project goals. I was impressed with the strong foodtech / biotech (especially alternative protein industry) knowledge of Gerrit and his team, the fast turnaround time of project deliverables and the ability to work efficiently together with a group of freelancing consultants from different backgrounds. I certainly recommend working with SMC and Bioshyft on bioeconomy-related & sustainability topics.

Gerrit and his team was great for getting a quick overview of a field of interests. It is harder to understand from their analysis the exact quality of the technology that companies can offer as this depends on the interplay with our own operations and technologies but the overview and deep-dives are very helpful. I would like to thank the team for their valuable contribution to the Unilever plant-based business.

Another fantastic experience working with Gerrit. Gerrit is able to provide valuable and insightful input for clients while ensuring the team is thriving. Would highly recommend working with Gerrit and I actively seek out opportunities to work with him

I had the pleasure of working with Gerrit Feuerriegel as part of his SMC expert team delivering a project for a global FMCG company. The project goal was to develop the 5-year raw material strategy for the global plant-based business unit. Gerrit showed great leadership and management capabilities, strong expertise in the plant-based protein market as well as project management skills on top-tier consulting level. I enjoyed working with him and continue to stay in touch for future projects and to discuss plant-based market trends.”

As Portfolio Manager for SG Assets, I’m constantly looking for early-stage & high-potential innovations and Bioshyft provides a very relevant overview on new sustainability & biotechnology startups. Found already 11 very relevant startups in the first few days and had calls with the top 3 based on their profile information and pitchdeck. The filter and search functions could be improved in the Essential Package but otherwise very useful platform and absolutely worth the investment.
