Real customer experiences
“CORE Markets helped us understand market dynamics, align cross-functional stakeholders and structure a commercially competitive arrangement that also helps reach our sustainability objectives.
The team went over and beyond the original scope of the project to ensure we had board sign-off. And they were very flexible in their approach, aligning to our business processes, not just their internal frameworks.”
