Context
A global strategy consultancy was investing heavily in its US Consumer Goods practice as demand for commercial strategy and value-creation support continued to grow. The firm needed a Director who could operate credibly with senior clients, strengthen delivery across major accounts and contribute to building a national leadership platform.
Challenge
The brief required deep consumer-sector experience, strong commercial judgement and the ability to lead complex growth, pricing and go-to-market engagements. The individual also needed a track record of developing consulting teams and influencing executive decision-making. Balancing this level of experience with cultural fit and long-term leadership potential was central to the search.
Solution
We conducted a focused search across strategy firms and specialist consumer practices with strong commercial credentials. Assessment centred on proven delivery in growth strategy, commercial due diligence, pricing and broader value-creation work. From this market, we identified a candidate with a consistent record of client impact, strong analytical discipline and positive peer and stakeholder feedback.
Result
The candidate progressed smoothly through each interview round and accepted the offer shortly after final discussions. The hire strengthens the firm’s Consumer Goods strategy capability across the US, bringing immediate delivery impact as well as clear scope for the individual to grow into a wider leadership role as the practice scales.
