Opinion

Canada Goose is getting ready to take the leap into the most competitive market in Asia.  Armed with Bain Capital on one arm and PFSweb on the other.  They are prepared to enter the biggest market on the planet, China.  There is a lot at stake for all parties involved.  First, Bain Capital former co-founder, Mitt Romney is rumoured to be running for 2016 Presidential Election.  Second, Canada is also up for an election next year.  Canada Goose is Canada’s pride and joy, can’t afford to have a bad launch in Asia, can we?  This maybe the litmus test for the newly inked US-China Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) which takes effect October 1, 2014.

Questions and Feedback

Do you believe Canada Goose and Bain Capital are the right fit?  Do you think BIT will make a difference on the success of Canada Goose in Asia?  If so, how?
