Ongoing need to build and strengthen commercial, insights, and brand capability across multiple markets, with a focus on newly created roles and strategic growth areas. Required a trusted partner to deliver consistently on high-impact and often niche briefs.
- Scope / Delivery:
Partnered since March 2023 as an extension of the internal team, delivering strategic search across Global Commercial Excellence (Shopper, Category, Insights, NRM), Brand Marketing, and National Accounts. Supported both regional and international hiring alongside providing market intelligence to guide decision-making.

Delivered 15 placements over 24 months across UK&I and EMEA, achieving high success rates and strong retention. International recruitment includes Netherlands, 1 newly created role – Middle East, 2 newly created roles in Germany (SBM + NAM).

Played a key role in scaling the Global Commercial Excellence function and strengthening core commercial teams. Germany hires supported a critical business transition from distributor-led to direct-to-retail, opening new market opportunities.

Established as a go-to partner through consistent delivery and strategic input. Strong stakeholder relationships and repeat hiring reflect trust, with standout impact in supporting international growth and organisational transformation.
- His personal and human approach.
- Very involved from beginning to end in a timely manner.
- Knowledge of the company/business, sharing of critical insights that helped along the process.
- Support and sharing of tools for each interview step, availability for support and review of interview preparations and giving feedback/asking how I felt after each interview.
- It felt like a promoter of my professional profile, skills set and personality every step of the way, supporting, encouraging and fighting for me along the process vs. a traditional recruiter that only passes along things and asks standard questions/gives standard feedback in a generally de-attached way.
