Executive Search

Hiring at executive level in consumer businesses is rarely straightforward. The right hire is not just about experience, it is about finding someone who can operate at the right level, in the right environment and at the right stage of growth.

At Lime Talent, our work is focused on identifying and securing senior leaders across FMCG and consumer products. We work predominantly with established brands and fast growing challenger businesses, supporting hires at Managing Director, CEO and Director level.

A key part of our approach is understanding where the right talent actually sits in the market. In many cases, the best candidate for a CEO or MD role is not an existing CEO, it is a high performing Commercial Director or functional leader in a larger or more advanced business who is ready to step up. This is where many searches fall short, and where our market understanding makes a difference.

Our network across the consumer space, combined with a targeted and considered search process, allows us to access candidates beyond the obvious pool. The majority of our mandates are delivered through direct approaches rather than open advertising, ensuring we engage with individuals who are not actively on the market.

We support a range of executive hires, including:

• Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer
• Commercial Director, Sales Director
• Chief Marketing Officer, Marketing Director
• Chief Operating Officer, Operations Director
• Supply Chain Director
• Technical Director, Development Director

Established in 2013, Lime Talent specialises in executive hiring across FMCG and consumer products.

Each of our Consultants specialises within their market, ensuring a strong understanding of both the talent landscape and the specific challenges associated with senior hiring.
