Supply chain increasingly is being recognized as a key differentiator among leading companies. Globalisation, low-cost country sourcing and relentless cost reduction and customer service pressures have transformed supply chain from a tactical function to a source of competitive advantage.
Demand is rising for highly skilled executives who can positively impact company performance, whether at the individual functional level, or across the entire supply chain. Today's supply chain executives manage a complex network of suppliers, manufacturing facilities, distribution sites and third party providers serving customers in markets around the world. Often key members of the executive committee, supply chain executives also serve as significant architects of strategies that drive shareholder value.
Spencer Stuart's global supply chain team is well positioned to serve the needs of clients from a wide range of industries operating around the world. Our consultants have extensive experience in, and knowledge of, specific industries and their relevant candidate pools, placing top supply chain executives at both fully integrated multi-national and global firms to smaller mid-cap and emerging growth companies across virtually all industries. In the past year, we have recruited more than 100 top executives to key positions in leading organisations around the world.
