A Chat with Christophe Gaigneux,EVP, Boston Apparel Group,

CS: What would you say was the greatest lesson you learned that year?

CG: I learned I had to trust more people. It drove me to a new step of dedication, too. The constraints of all my responsibilities drove me to the next step of management, to trust more people and involve more people. It caused an evolution in the way I managed both people and projects. It was a lot of work, but my family really supported me throughout that period. If you don't have your family behind you, it can be really difficult.
