Industrial & Manufacturing

Engineering, automotive, aerospace, chemicals and advanced manufacturing.

Industrial companies are automating, reshoring and electrifying at the same time. They need plant and group leaders who can lead people on the shop floor and argue a capital case in the boardroom.

What boards are asking for

Automation

Leaders who have introduced automation without losing their workforce are in demand.

Footprint

Reshoring and near-shoring decisions require a rare mix of operational and financial judgement.

Lean and quality

Continuous-improvement credentials still separate good operators from great ones.
