Every assignment targets top sales capability within specialist sales environments, ensuring hires add value quickly and sustainably.

A Disciplined, Consultative Search Approach

Structured delivery underpins every recruitment process we run.

Proven Expertise in Sales Executive Search

Nigel Wright Group has built a strong recent track record in sales executive search, supporting organisations where senior sales leadership has a direct impact on revenue, market share and long-term growth. Our consultants work closely with boards and senior teams to understand routes to market, customer dynamics and commercial priorities before starting any search. Every assignment is shaped around real business goals rather than generic sales profiles.

We have partnered with organisations including Califia Farms, Capri Sun, Church & Dwight, Fentimans, Glen Dimplex, Husqvarna, Jack Link’s, Mayborn Group, NBCUniversal and Paulig Group. These assignments span FMCG, consumer goods, manufacturing, media and global brands, showing our ability to recruit senior sales leaders across varied commercial environments.

Recruiting Sales Leaders Who Drive Growth

Nigel Wright’s sales executive search focuses on finding leaders who can build momentum while managing complexity. At Califia Farms and Jack Link’s, our work supported the appointment of senior sales leaders who could grow distribution, manage key accounts and strengthen partnerships in competitive markets. The leaders appointed brought clarity to sales strategy while improving execution across channels.

For established consumer brands such as Capri Sun, Church & Dwight and Fentimans, our searches focused on individuals who understood brand-led selling and long-term customer relationships. The appointments helped strengthen collaboration between sales, marketing and supply teams, improving consistency and performance.

Supporting Sales Leadership in Global and Technical Businesses

Sales executive roles in complex or technical organisations require a different approach. At Husqvarna and Glen Dimplex, Nigel Wright supported searches for sales leaders who could manage specialist product ranges and multi-market operations. The executives appointed brought structure to sales teams and improved forecasting, pricing and customer focus.

For Mayborn Group, our work centred on recruiting a sales leader who could support growth across retail and international markets. The appointment helped improve alignment between regional teams while supporting long-term commercial plans.

Sales Executive Search in Media and Content

At NBCUniversal, Nigel Wright supported sales executive search aligned with advertising, partnerships and commercial development. The role required a leader who could operate in a fast-moving, content-driven environment while building strong client relationships. The appointment strengthened sales planning and supported more consistent commercial outcomes.

For Paulig Group, our work focused on recruiting sales leadership capable of balancing brand growth with portfolio complexity. The executive appointed brought experience across food and beverage markets, helping improve route-to-market strategy and customer engagement.
