Retail & Consumer

The Retail & Consumer industry is highly competitive, fragmented and in a state of flux as online powerhouses seek to permanently disrupt the way retailers connect with consumers. Engaging consumers with multi-media and responding to the trend to move away from bricks and mortar has turned this industry on its head. These pressures demand leaders who possess unique and exacting skill sets with cross-cultural understanding; the ability to integrate digital, social, and e-commerce to drive growth; influencing and inspiring skills; the capacity to develop strategy beyond their own experience, agility, and tolerance for ambiguity; and the ability to respond to an unknown future. Finding the right executives is therefore essential to rising up and capitalizing on the challenges this sector is facing.
