Executive Search in the Consumer Products & FMCG Sector

Our constant activity in this marketplace positions us to identify and engage executives with key critical attributes for retail clients:

• An understanding of the complexities of an omni-channel strategy
• The merchandising savvy to anticipate customer needs
• The ability to cultivate brand equity and increasingly brand community

With unsurpassed geographic scope, Novo serves retail and apparel clients across a broad range of functions and sectors, including multi-nationals, regional and local players and increasingly, private equity-backed firms.

We know talent and understand the crucial nature of future talent so we can connect the best business leaders with the best companies based on their strengths and assets.

We understand  that our clients “create and distribute” content broadly; thus, our work also includes areas where content intersects with consumer products and video games, technology, retail and licensing, sports and live entertainment, and across all areas of the digital spectrum including online, mobile, eCommerce, social media and ad networks.

HOSPITALITY & LEISURE

As the hospitality and leisure industries battle for consumer spend, executives leading these businesses continue to hunt for strategies that will help give them market edge. Novo’s Hospitality & Leisure team knows that securing the right talent is a critical success factor in this fiercely competitive industry. We also have learned that the future success lies in not just delivering, but developing leaders.

Both consumer and business travel trends are now being defined and tested out in areas beyond the mature markets in Europe and the US, with regions like the Middle East and Southeast Asia at the forefront of those trends. In addition, technology innovation is redefining  how hospitality companies interact with their customers.
