Nigel Wright Group’s Executive Search Track Record in New York and the USA

Nigel Wright Group is a specialist executive search firm in New York City, helping consumer-facing businesses secure the leaders who drive growth. Our consultants deliver executive search in New York City and across the country, matching American consumer brands with senior leaders built for impact. We Connect Great People to Great Opportunities. Over 35 years of consumer-packaged goods (CPG) knowledge shapes every assignment, from Board seats to C-level appointments that add lasting value.

Sector focus guides every search we take on. As a specialist executive search partner, our team works within the industries where consumer businesses compete: food, beverage, beauty, household goods, fashion, retail, and beyond. That concentration gives us a deep understanding of the pressures American brands face and the leadership they need to grow.

A specialist executive search partner for consumer brands

Every consultant works within specific CPG markets and disciplines. They advise clients on each search with first-hand knowledge of the field, which produces stronger shortlists and better long-term hires.

Nigel Wright Group is Europe’s number one consumer sector search firm, and we bring that same rigor to American businesses. Our approach reflects the Go Further mindset: we look past the resume, question easy assumptions, and assess every leader for the results they can deliver.

Following a 2022 management buyout, the firm is 100% management-owned. Every consultant holds a stake in the outcome of each assignment, which keeps our people invested in your success from first briefing to final onboarding.

Why consumer brands choose Nigel Wright Group

• Over 35 years of CPG expertise, built through thousands of consumer sector searches

• 100% management ownership, so every consultant is invested in the result

Executive search roles we place

We recruit across all strategic disciplines, assembling the leadership these brands need to carry them through growth and transformation. Our searches cover the full C-suite and board:

• Chief executives and general managers who set strategy and lead scale-ups, turnarounds, and market entry
• Financial leaders including CFOs and finance directors who strengthen governance and fuel expansion
• Commercial and marketing leaders such as CMOs and CPOs who grow brands and win share
• Operations, supply chain, and manufacturing leaders who deliver efficiency and resilience
• Board members and non-executive directors who guide long-term value creation

This work spans senior appointments and specialist leadership roles, giving clients access to executive talent that lifts the performance of the whole leadership team. When a business needs top executives who can transform results, we build a shortlist of proven candidates.

Proven track record with America's consumer brands

Consumer businesses trust Nigel Wright Group because our track record shows why. We have worked with some of the most recognized names in the sector, placing leaders who go on to shape the future of their organizations.

Our client work includes Church & Dwight, Skechers, Spectrum Brands, and Coty. We have also partnered with VF Corporation, Krispy Kreme, Califia Farms, and Munchkin. These relationships span household names in personal care, footwear, apparel, food, and beverage. Together they reflect our ability to source top talent across the consumer landscape.

Across these engagements, we have appointed chief executives, finance chiefs, and commercial leaders who steadied performance and opened new categories. Our focus always stays on the leaders who last. Each search rests on the same foundation: sector insight, a rigorous process, and a commitment to service that continues well after the offer is signed.

Executive search across the USA and beyond

Our reach extends nationwide. Nigel Wright Group provides executive search in the USA for consumer businesses in every major market. As an executive search firm in the USA with a North America and EMEA network, we link American companies with leaders on both sides of the Atlantic.

Cross-continental reach matters for growing brands. As an executive recruitment agency in the USA, we help domestic businesses strengthen their leadership and expand into Europe. Our executive recruitment in the USA also supports overseas companies that want to establish a foothold in the American market.

International executive search sits at the core of what we do. This global view gives clients a genuine advantage when they enter new territories or build cross-border teams.

How we find leaders others miss

The best candidates are rarely searching. Our consultants build long-term relationships across the CPG sector, which gives us direct access to passive candidates who never appear on job boards. Paired with an evidence-based method, this network produces leaders who perform.

We stay involved through onboarding and beyond, because real success shows in the year that follows a hire. Clients gain confidence from a values-led team that works with integrity and a genuine passion for winning. Every engagement is built to add value that lasts well past the start date. Results are what we measure.
