Retail / Wholesale

The industry has been and continues to be one of the most rapidly changing sectors of our economy. Customer satisfaction in the face of intense pricing pressure, globalization and foreign sourcing issues as well as strategic regulatory requirements has dramatically changed the profile of today’s industry leaders. In addition, merger and acquisition activity continues to introduce strategic cultural issues, which must also be addressed by industry executives. Providing top industry talent within an efficient time frame is today’s executive search challenge.

Forum Search Partners has extensive hands on senior level experience within the industry as well as decades of recruiting experience in the industry. Understanding the cultural issues, whether dealing with a Fortune 500 company, a small specialty start-up or a recently acquired or to be acquired company, from an insider’s prospective sets us apart from the competition.

Our Partners offer clients recruiting expertise in top industry positions such as CEO, COO, CFO, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer as well as GMM’s, DMM’s and Senior VP’s. We also provide the direct report support staff for these senior categories.
