Open-Flute Consulting is led by Konstantin Turygin. My professional experience is 20 years in large and international B2B companies, including 15+ years dedicated to corrugated board and corrugated packaging production.
My expertise was formed not only through achievements, but also through tests, mistakes, difficult decisions and real management situations. I treat this experience openly, because it often helps a client see risks, weak points and solutions faster — things that are not visible in a presentation.
My understanding of business was formed from different sides. I went through an organic career path from selling cardboard packaging to managing two production sites with full P&L responsibility. That is why I look at business not through one department or one function, but as a system where everything is connected.
I know the corrugated industry not from reports and presentations, but from the inside: through sales, production, procurement, planning, quality, waste, complaints, management reporting and work with clients. In this business, mistakes in raw material selection, planning, pricing or correct data transfer quickly turn into losses.
I managed two production sites with full P&L responsibility. This gave me practical understanding of how sales, procurement, production, finance, warehouse, people and investment decisions are connected. Therefore, when I analyze a business, I do not look at a separate symptom, but at the system: where the problem appeared, which processes influence it and what will change if it is solved.
I worked with commerce from both sides: sales, key accounts, tenders, negotiations, pricing models, supplier work and procurement logic. This helps me see a business opportunity not only as an “interesting contact”, but as a chain of questions: who makes the decision, where the real margin is, which cooperation terms are possible, and which risks are hidden in price, timing, quality or obligations of the parties.
In the corrugated business, weak points are rarely on the surface. A sales problem can be connected with planning, waste, paper quality, the KPI system or the way finished goods are packed. I worked with such links in practice: analyzed processes, searched for bottlenecks, assessed the impact of decisions on neighboring departments and translated conclusions into specific actions.
I participated in and led projects where it was not enough to simply suggest an idea. The change had to be implemented: people, timing, budgets, operational limits and measurable results had to be aligned. This experience matters for clients who need not a beautiful report, but a clear sequence of actions: what to do first, what can wait, where the risk is, which resources are needed and how to control implementation.
I worked in international companies and multicultural teams, where the same business situation can be understood differently by an owner, investor, local management, supplier or client. This is especially important when checking partners, assessing business assets and entering new markets: documents and presentations show only part of the picture, while the real context often remains off camera.
My experience helps me look at a partner, object or business asset not only through documents. I pay attention to operational reality: people, processes, condition of the object, signs of manageability, commercial logic and mismatches between words and facts. This is exactly what matters before negotiations, investment or the next serious step.
I build my work on transparency and openness. I take on tasks where my practical experience and knowledge can bring real value to the client. If I see a problem, I speak about it directly and always connect it with possible solution options and consequences.
My services have a clear and measurable scope. If we speak about an audit, the client receives a structured and quantified view of the situation from different sides. Proposed solutions must be understandable, measurable in time and money, and take into account their impact on related parts of the business.
In my work, I look for the shortest distance between the problem and the solution. But a short path does not mean a superficial one: I identify risks, limitations and possible consequences of both action and inaction in advance.
