IT Executive Search in the USA

Nigel Wright Group helps American consumer businesses hire the technology leaders who drive growth and transformation. As a specialist IT executive search firm, we place senior-level technology leadership across the United States and into Europe, giving consumer and CPG brands access to leaders who deliver lasting impact. Our purpose stays simple: Connect Great People to Great Opportunities.

Specialist IT executive search for consumer brands

Technology now sits at the center of every consumer business. Supply chains, e-commerce platforms, data, and cybersecurity all depend on strong digital leadership, and the right CIO or CTO can reshape how a company competes. Nigel Wright Group brings over 35 years of knowledge across the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) sector to this challenge, combining deep functional insight with genuine cross-continental reach. Clients trust us as their search partner because we understand both the technology function and the industries their leaders will serve.

The IT leadership roles we place

Board and C-level executive search sits at the heart of our work, and we place senior executives across strategic technology disciplines. Every assignment focuses on impact, so we assess each leader for the value they will add over the year that follows the hire.

• Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
• Chief Digital Officer and Chief Data Officer
• VP and Director of IT, Infrastructure, and Cloud
• Head of Cybersecurity and Information Security
• ERP, Digital Transformation, and E-commerce Technology leaders

Deep sector specialism that builds better shortlists

Our consultants focus on specific consumer sectors and the technology functions inside them. That focus means each consultant can advise on the role, apply first-hand market understanding, and build a stronger shortlist. When we present top candidates, every name reflects real market knowledge and a clear read on fit. This is how a specialist executive recruitment firm turns sector expertise into a decisive hiring advantage.

Technology leadership in fast-moving consumer goods carries its own demands, and industrial or lifestyle brands bring another set again. Our team knows these distinctions, so we calibrate every search to the sector, the growth stage, and the transformation goals in play.

Cross-continental reach across North America and EMEA

Our office network spans North America and EMEA, giving clients access to technology leaders on both sides of the Atlantic. American brands use this reach to strengthen their leadership team, expand into Europe, and win the digital talent that fuels growth and transformation. European and UK businesses rely on the same network to establish a foothold in the US market. Sourcing candidates across borders lets us find leaders who bring the exact experience a mandate calls for.

Our IT executive search track record

Consumer and CPG businesses around the world trust Nigel Wright Group to secure their technology leadership. Our client relationships include some of the most respected names in the sector.

We have partnered with household consumer brands including Church & Dwight, Energizer Group, and Abbott Laboratories, alongside outdoor and lifestyle leaders such as Husqvarna and J. Barbour & Sons. Specialist manufacturers count on us too, from Tor Coatings to the design-led brands Stokke and Schleich. Each engagement pairs a dedicated search team with consultants who know the client's market first-hand.

These relationships span household goods, outdoor equipment, coatings, and children's brands, which shows the breadth of consumer categories we serve. Whether a client needs to modernize its digital platforms, build a data function, or lead a transformation program, our consultants grasp the commercial context behind every hire. That context helps us frame each brief with precision and attract leaders who move the business forward from day one.

Our involvement continues through onboarding, so new leaders settle quickly and perform against the goals set at the start. This is how we prove value over the year that follows a hire.

A rigorous, evidence-based search process

Every mandate follows a clear method built around evidence and market insight. Our search processes combine structured assessment, deep referencing, and honest counsel at each stage. As a retained executive search specialist, we commit fully to each assignment and stay accountable for the outcome. Reaching passive candidates is central to this approach, since the strongest technology leaders are usually thriving in senior roles. Active job seekers form one part of any market, and our reach extends to the leaders who create the greatest impact.

People who earn the confidence of clients and candidates

Success rests on the calibre of our people and a genuine commitment to service. Values-led consultants work with integrity and collaborate closely, so clients and candidates gain real confidence in the process. Since our 2022 management buyout, the firm has been 100% management-owned, which gives our team a personal stake in each assignment. That ownership shows in how hard our people work to find top talent and get every hire right.
