QLM Search are supporting the Board of a highly respected flavours and ingredients business on the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer. This is a rare opportunity to lead a purpose-led, science-driven organisation with a long heritage, deep technical expertise and a strong reputation across their customer base. The business operates internationally, with significant manufacturing, innovation and commercial capability across Europe and North America, and is at an important point in its evolution.
We are seeking a proven CEO with deep experience in flavours, ingredients. Candidates will have led manufacturing organisations, with full P&L accountability, and will be comfortable operating in a hands-on, environment.
Critical experience includes:
• leadership within flavours, ingredients
• strong understanding of innovation-led, customer-partnered models common in flavour houses and ingredient suppliers
• credibility with major global customers and sophisticated stakeholders
• the ability to balance commercial discipline, operational excellence and people-centred leadership
This role will suit a leader who values culture and heritage as much as performance; someone who is visible, grounded and able to bring people with them through the next phase of growth.
This search is being conducted on a confidential basis. Initial conversations will be discreet and exploratory. If you are a CEO, or a senior leader ready to step into a CEO role (with end-to-end P&L responsibility), with deep roots in flavours or ingredients, we would welcome a private discussion.
