Procurement Executive Search in the USA

Nigel Wright Group connects great people to great opportunities across America’s consumer sector. We place the procurement leaders who protect margins, secure supply, and fuel growth. As a specialist procurement executive search firm, we serve consumer and CPG businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. Our expert consultants work across a North America and EMEA network, backed by over 35 years of CPG knowledge on every assignment.

Why Nigel Wright Group for procurement leadership

American consumer brands trust us to find procurement talent that delivers measurable impact. Our consultants focus on specific consumer sectors and disciplines. They advise on each mandate with first-hand market understanding. That focus builds stronger shortlists. It also secures senior procurement professionals who perform long after the offer is signed.

We are Europe’s number one consumer sector search firm. Nigel Wright Group is 100% management-owned following a 2022 management buyout. Every consultant holds a stake in each assignment. This sharpens accountability and raises the quality of service. Our Go Further mindset shapes every search. Consultants challenge assumptions, assess each leader for impact, and look beyond the obvious to strengthen your supply base.

Procurement roles we place

We recruit across the full procurement function. This work spans category managers through to Board and C-level executive search for Chief Procurement Officers. Our reach covers the critical roles that shape cost, supply, and supplier performance:

• Chief Procurement Officer and VP Procurement
• Global and regional category directors
• Supplier management and sourcing leaders
• Procurement transformation and supply chain heads
• Direct and indirect procurement specialists

Every search draws on deep sector insight. Clients gain access to top tier candidates who understand consumer markets across the US and Europe.

Procurement expertise built for consumer markets

Procurement leadership in consumer goods demands sharp commercial judgment. It also depends on strong supplier relationships. Our consultants know how these functions run inside food, beverage, and household brands. That knowledge lets them weigh technical skill and cultural fit with equal confidence.

We help clients build sourcing strategies that hold up under pressure. Raw material costs can move fast. Trade conditions shift. This depth of insight lets us match businesses with leaders who improve resilience and unlock savings across complex, global supply chains.

Proven track record with consumer brands

Nigel Wright Group has worked with many of the world’s most recognized consumer businesses. Our client relationships span food, beverage, confectionery, quick service, and lifestyle brands. Each one reflects the trust senior stakeholders place in our procurement work.

We have partnered with Adidas, Red Bull, and Suntory on senior appointments. Beyond that, we supported Hershey Trading Company, Mission Foods, and C.H. Guenther across their procurement and sourcing agendas. Work with McDonald’s and Burberry shows the breadth of our reach, from global quick service to luxury retail. Together, these names cover food, drink, sportswear, and premium retail. Each senior hire met the same high bar. These relationships prove our ability to place top talent in demanding, high-stakes environments.

 

Client outcomes and business impact

Great procurement hires deliver value for years. Our evidence-based method secures leaders who cut cost, strengthen supply, and build lasting partnerships. We stay involved through onboarding, so new leaders settle quickly and start delivering sooner. Clients gain resilience, sharper strategic sourcing, and leadership teams ready for growth and transformation. The real test comes over the year that follows a hire. That long view guides how we judge every search.

We are a procurement executive recruitment agency rooted in the consumer sector. That heritage helps us tell a capable manager from a genuine leader. This judgment helps American businesses transform their procurement function. It also gives them the confidence to enter new markets across the Atlantic.
