Finding a Unicorn in Global Logistics

ROLE FILLED:
Director of Global Logistics
Client: Renowned Global Industrial & Manufacturing Organization

THE CLIENT'S NEED:
Our client, a rapidly growing global company, had an urgent need for a seasoned logistics leader—someone who could operate seamlessly across both domestic and international markets. They were seeking a rare blend of skills: exceptional communication, leadership of $350M+ in logistics spend, hands-on warehouse strategy, global operational oversight, and a deep understanding of organizational design—all while driving performance beyond expectations. It was a tall order, but our Industrial & Manufacturing team was ready for the challenge.

THE SEARCH CHALLENGES:
The ideal candidate profile was highly specific and incredibly niche. Although the market was beginning to recover from the global pandemic, top-tier logistics talent remained scarce. The role demanded not only functional expertise but also a proven ability to scale operations and lead global teams—a tough combination to find.

OUR TALENT DELIVERY SOLUTION:
Senior Associate Diana Saucier moved swiftly and strategically. Within just seven days, she identified three highly qualified candidates. Two finalists were interviewed the following week, and by the next, an offer was extended and accepted.

The key? A fast-moving, responsive search process paired with deep industry expertise.

THE RESULT:
Our client landed their ideal Director of Global Logistics—someone equipped to optimize global supply chains, lead transformation efforts, and elevate performance across the board.
