Consumer Products and Services

Our Consumer Practice utilizes a team approach to go to market for our clients. We listen carefully to client needs and organize a search team from the industry to penetrate the market. We use our 30-year experience in successful searches to provide sound, proven management advice. We are privileged to enjoy regional and national consumer client relationships with Fortune 500, multi-national, and privately-held companies. Our successful client relationships include manufacturers and retailers in food and beverage, health and beauty care, consumer durables and household products, and luxury goods.

Our consumer clients tell us that the global differentiator for their success is management talent. Human capital enables their competitive advantage in every aspect of business, including: new product development, strategic marketing, global production sourcing, market entry into new geographies, technology advancement, business information and logistics, raising and properly deploying capital, organizational development, and training. In essence, the ideas and livelihood that builds their brand are their employees; nothing in their business is more important to their survival and vitality in the 21st century.

Industrial

Our Industrial Practice focuses on recruiting executive leaders in industrial and manufacturing companies. Clients range from early stage through multi-million dollar companies. Over the past 20 years this sector has seen dramatic changes in the way companies operate and in the qualifications and attributes of the leaders they require. World-class talent is required to compete in this evolving increasingly global environment. Our consultants have experience and background working in this complex sector and have completed many assignments including successful placements of chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief information officer, and general manager positions.

Procurement and Supply Chain

In today’s competitive marketplace leading organizations need innovative sourcing, a focus on reducing costs, expert knowledge to manage risk and agile supply chains to improve efficiency, maintain supply and deliver excellent customer service.

The best organizations today recognize this, and invest heavily to find non-traditional leaders for their Supply Chain and Procurement organizations; those with excellent business awareness, wide ranging capabilities to deal with complexity and the leadership skills to drive change. These people are a scarce resource, highly prized and highly valued.

At Diversified Search Ray & Berndtson Ray & Berndtson we acknowledge this, and have the market knowledge to determine where to search, who to talk to and how to attract the interest of those most highly sought after. Our Procurement and Supply Chain Search Practice led by Cheryl D'Cruz-Young draws on an international consultant team with a breadth of Procurement and Supply Chain experience, working together to combine functional, regional and sectoral experience to deliver the best results from the widest possible talent pool.
