The DNA of consumer products companies is changing. Portfolio optimization and M&A are heating up as businesses rush to acquire valuable technology and digital capabilities, divest low-performing product lines and form strategic partnerships.

The DNA of consumer products companies and their leadership is changing.

At the same time, demand for leaders who can restore profitable growth, reinvent operating models/omnichannel strategies and continue to drive transformation and digitalization across the value chain is also on the rise. There is added pressure of ensuring these leaders can effectively collaborate with other C-suite leaders, build new capabilities and an inclusive learning-driven culture to support required organizational changes in order to ultimately win in the market.

At Spencer Stuart, we conduct more C-suite searches in consumer products than any other firm. We work with clients of different sizes and scale to look beyond the obvious talent pools to recruit and develop visionary and authentic leaders and integrated teams able to drive transformation and accelerate performance through strategic innovation. This practical experience is complemented by our advisory services in areas from leadership development and consulting to executive assessments and coaching.
