I assist Consumer Goods Groups with Talent Solutions to drive lasting change through strong leadership within the most diverse & challenging geographies globally, through detailed analysis, I focus on the clients specific leadership requirements to enable sustainable growth. Sector? FMCG: Foods / Beverages / Cosmetics / Consumer Healthcare / Household / Alcohol / TobaccoRoles? All Leadership functions across every function & disciplineLocations? Africa & Middle East / Turkey & Central Asia / Russia & Eastern Europe / LATAM The intensity & talent demands in Emerging Markets means each solution is individually ‘tailored’ and client specific, as whether finding a head of digital marketing in Lagos, Head of CORA in Almaty or SC Director in Moscow, no requirement is the same. Executive Search: Whether focusing on innovation, growth & expansion, disruption or M&A, through experience of these challenging markets, we provide organisations with the ability to identify & attract the market leading talent. Industry Mapping: Provide critical information to understand whether a certain type of talent exists in these extreme markets and the quality & availability within. This information can be fully utilised & explored to understand key competitors & previous success / failures in the market. Diversity & Inclusion: It is critical in Emerging Markets to address diversity head on and the ‘war on talent’ is far greater than more westernised markets, through targeted insights & opinions we can cater across these sensitive yet essential agendas. Digital Transformation: Through understanding the level of change & dynamics involved within digitalisation, we can help to attack & develop the suitable talent for such a large project in the least prepared geographies. I have been lucky enough to travel, live & work across some wonderful parts of the world which are fundamental to these developing markets, while I understand there are huge risks to businesses, I do also passionately believe that the talent exists, it’s about identification and cultural matches.
