Dr. Rohde has always impressed me with the way he integrates thorough academic research with smart innovative commercial projects and businesses. The scope of his work with clients around the world is remarkable, but on top of all his academic and business credentials, he is simply a pleasure to work with.

Professor Carl Rohde and I started AYR Consulting together and today Professor Carl Rohde’s knowledge help us to work with corporations globally like L’Oreal, Mapfre, 3M, Hunter Douglas, VW, among many others, and other several Brazilian and Portuguese Companies & Universities

What is more, Prof. Rohde is not just an accomplished academic but also a visionary leader, a creative innovator in his field with a passionate dedication to advance and to set new standards for how trendwatching, marketing and business administration can be integrated in order to build brands and transform organizations so they can be uniquely prepared to thrive in markets that are ever more dynamic!

I have worked with Carl Rohde on an extensive scale. Together we have conducted trend research in cities around the world. And we have developed innovative concepts together and cooperated on various consulting projects. Also, we have often presented at each other’s business conferences and seminars.

He combines thorough academic research with smart insights for business innovations and he has always impressed me by his international achievements and clients and partner’s portfolio. I admire prof. dr. Rohde as a mentor, a professor, business innovator and as a human being.

I personally am a citizen of Lebanon and USA and have lived in many countries throughout my 55 years of existence, founded 6 companies and served on many company boards, but have rarely met people of prof. doc.Rohde exceptional merits and abilities.

Prof. Rohde has got a solid international reputation and the ability to reach the goals he is required to achieve. This is due to the self-denial he shows when working, to the passion for what he does, and also to the loyalty he shows toward his colleagues and the institutions and companies that trust him.

Trends and Innovation projects are not only innovative on the educational dimension but also on the research dimension. We are impressed by the international scope of Professor Rohde’s work, as well as many commercial implications.
