Deep specialism in consumer and CPG ecommerce
Specialism sets our work apart. Our consultants focus on defined consumer sectors, so they speak the language of the market and recognize what strong online leadership looks like. This focus means we advise clients on role design, market pay, and realistic timelines, then build shortlists of qualified candidates who match the brief with precision.
American consumer brands operate in a demanding digital economy. We help them navigate it by sourcing leaders with real experience in consumer-packaged goods (CPG), retail, and direct-to-consumer models. Our knowledge of digital commerce runs from platform strategy and data to customer acquisition and lifetime value. Focused expertise shortens time to hire and raises the quality of every introduction.
Proven with leading consumer brands
Our networks reach the senior commercial talent behind some of the world's most recognized consumer names. These businesses set the standard for consumer excellence, and the leaders who shaped them now sit within reach of our clients. Candidates across our community have built their careers at companies including:
- Church & Dwight and Reckitt in household and personal care
- Wella and Lipton Teas and Infusions in beauty and beverages
- Munchkin and Husqvarna in consumer products and the outdoors
- TCL and Pure Fishing in electronics and specialist retail
These relationships give clients access to leaders who have scaled online channels inside complex, category-leading businesses. When brands of this caliber shape a candidate's experience, clients gain leadership tested in real commercial conditions.
