Driving Innovation: Leadership in Consumer and Retail Markets
Consumer and retail markets have led the charge in digital transformation, reshaping how we interact, shop, and consume. Known for their rapid pace and relentless innovation, these markets continuously evolve to meet shifting consumer trends and demands, requiring leaders to remain agile and forward-thinking. Their ability to adapt and innovate has become a blueprint for organisations across various sectors, inspiring leaders globally to adopt and integrate successful digital strategies and people-centric practices within their own businesses and markets.

Our experience
Our Partners possess deep industry expertise and a keen understanding of the pace, scope, and innovation required from today’s leaders. Through our executive search services, we collaborate with a diverse range of clients, including global retail chains, high-end luxury brands, established family-owned businesses, and emerging SMEs. We specialise in identifying and coaching both executive and non-executive leaders while also facilitating the successful transition of seasoned consumer and retail executives into other sectors.
Bringing forward passionate and diverse Board Leaders
Senior board appointments require a highly targeted, personalised search to identify appropriately qualified senior leaders, and it is essential that each of them is then approached by an articulate and well-informed advisor. Through our dedicated board practice, we appoint over 250 chair and non-executive roles every year: our networks give us extensive reach across sectors, and deep insights into the challenges – and opportunities – faced by boards today.
Developing high-performing boards
Saxton Bampfylde has the expertise and experience to provide chairs with the comprehensive insight they need to run an effective board, having led governance reviews at both executive and non-executive level. Our review process is designed to be relatively light-touch, allowing boards to comply fully with governance recommended practice and providing data and practical recommendations that can be used to improve board/team effectiveness, maximise strengths, and tackle weaknesses. Our view is structured around a tried and tested model, but can be adapted to specific organisational needs.
