The new entity will cover operations not only in the US but also in Canada, Latin America, and the regional textile and apparel supply chain.
Gherzi Textil Organisation managing partner Giuseppe Gherzi said: “Gherzi has always worked at the intersection of textile expertise and practical business judgment. The launch of Gherzi Americas gives us a stronger platform in one of the most important regions in the world, and it brings together a leadership team that knows this industry from the inside.”
As part of this reorganisation, Robert Antoshak has been appointed managing partner for Gherzi Americas, with Radhika Shrinivas and David Uricoli joining as partners.
The team will provide advisory services to brands, retailers, manufacturers, investors, government agencies, and technology providers. Their areas of focus will include sourcing strategy, manufacturing development, trade exposure, and operational improvement.
Antoshak brings decades of experience in textiles, apparel sourcing, trade strategy, and advisory support to governments.
“Companies across the Americas are being forced to rethink old assumptions. Tariffs, sourcing shifts, compliance demands, and geopolitical risk are now central to how companies compete. Our job is to help clients make decisions that hold up in the real world,” Antoshak said.
Shrinivas offers expertise in strategic sourcing, product development, supplier management, and programme execution for textiles and apparel, while Uricoli’s background includes business development, ESG implementation, commercial due diligence, and supply chain risk assessment.
Additionally, the new division will have the support of Uday Gill, partner at Gherzi Textil Organisation. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Gill will work with the Americas team while continuing his global textile consulting responsibilities.
Gherzi Americas is set to collaborate closely with the organisation’s global network, aiming to offer a tailored regional approach for clients. The office will assist companies in evaluating sourcing alternatives, developing manufacturing capacity, and advising on investments, operational efficiency, and bolstering supply chain resilience.
Giuseppe Gherzi added: “Generic consulting will not cut it in the Americas. Clients need advisors who know textiles, manufacturing, trade, and execution. That is what Gherzi Americas is built to provide.”
Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Gherzi serves the textile, apparel, manufacturing, and sourcing sectors, supporting clients with strategy, operations, market development, and investment advisory.
