An industry-leading provider of Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) retail logistics needed a highly specialized product management leader to oversee multiple departments and various functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A respected name in the supply chain industry for more than 30 years was at a transformational moment. They had just launched a new Software as a Service (Saas) division \u2014 a bold move to blend their traditional logistics strength with innovative, tech-driven solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vision alone wasn\u2019t enough. They needed a Head of Product Management who could wear multiple hats: part technologist, part strategist, part operator, and 100% leader. This new role would oversee Product, IT, Marketing, and Sales \u2014 driving alignment and execution across functions that had never operated under a single umbrella before. Finding someone with the right blend of product DNA, leadership polish, and cultural alignment felt like searching for a unicorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on our track record, the client turned to Addison Group. In the client\u2019s words: \u201c[Addison Group] is the snowplow after Mother Nature dumps two feet of snow overnight \u2014 we know you\u2019ll show up, clear the path, and make the morning commute happen.\u201d We’ve delivered before and they trusted our ability to navigate the complexity of the situation, move quickly, and never sacrifice thoughtfulness \u2014 especially when culture and leadership chemistry were on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our team began with an in-depth intake conversation, not just about responsibilities, but about people, growth, and legacy. We needed to understand where they were going and the type of leader who could help them get there. We analyzed competitors, mapped the market, and built a tailored search strategy around impact. From more than 100 prospects, we shortlisted the top 20 and guided the client through a disciplined funnel approach. We narrowed it down to five finalists, then three, and ultimately to one perfect match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The client hired their top choice \u2014 a seasoned SaaS executive with a gift for cross-functional leadership and storytelling. Within months, they weren\u2019t just leading \u2014 they were inspiring. The candidate brought structure to chaos, clarity to vision, and momentum to a division that now feels energized and focused. They\u2019ve become the connective tissue between legacy and innovation, and the client couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After this placement, our partnership has only deepened, and we\u2019re excited to continue supporting them through this next era of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know that great teams start with great people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means we focus on quality, not quotas. It means that we\u2019re laser-focused on seeing candidates beyond their resumes. We understand their goals and make sure they align with your mission. And it means working with you to get detailed insights into your teams so we can find people who fit, not just who\u2019s available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one gets talent like Addison Group.\u00ae<\/p>\n\n\n\n
