Executive Search Case Study | Appointing a Group Transformation Director for an FMCG Organisation
Role: Group Transformation Director
Industry: FMCG
Location: Ireland
Discovery
During a period of rapid growth and global HR restructuring, our client required a senior transformation leader to support enterprise-wide change. The organisation needed an individual with the capability to deliver complex transformation aligned to commercial priorities and long-term strategy.
The role demanded experience operating in M&A environments, the ability to manage complex change within a matrixed organisation and the skills to balance commercial priorities with workforce impact. Identifying a leader who could influence senior stakeholders throughout the transformation journey was critical to success.
Reach
Our Talent Intelligence team mapped the transformation leadership market across Ireland and selected international markets, leveraging established executive networks to identify proven change leaders. Engagement was conducted discreetly and targeted towards individuals with experience delivering large-scale transformation in fast-paced, consumer-driven environments.
A focused shortlist was presented, aligned closely to the organisation’s strategic objectives, cultural context and transformation requirements.
Assessment
Candidates were assessed through a structured evaluation process combining psychometric assessment, competency-based interviews and direct engagement with the client’s leadership team. This ensured a rigorous assessment of transformation capability, leadership style and cultural alignment.
Impact
Through our partnership, the successful candidate was appointed within a short timeframe, enabling the organisation to progress critical transformation initiatives at pace. The strength of the appointment led to further executive search assignments across technical and international roles, reinforcing our long-term partnership with the client.
