Headhunters in Operations/Supply Chain/Transport | Amazon bestselling co-Author of "Source To Sold" | Keynote speaker | #LinkedInTopVoices

For over 20 years, I have built and led a global executive search business focused on CEO, Board, and senior P&L leadership across the value chain.

At Alcott Global, executive search is our core business and primary revenue engine. We work with Boards and CEOs on leadership appointments where the outcome is enterprise performance, not just role completion. Our work typically sits at the intersection of value creation, operational complexity, and transformation.

Alongside search, we have deliberately built a broader leadership ecosystem that gives us continuous, real-world access to senior decision-makers. This includes C-level events, closed-door executive roundtables, and the Leaders in Supply Chain podcast, where I regularly speak with CEOs, Board members, and global operators running large, complex organisations.

I am the co-author of From Source to Sold, an Amazon bestselling book on value chain leadership, and have lived and worked across multiple regions, giving me a global perspective shaped by direct exposure to different business environments and leadership models.

Our search work spans CEO and Board appointments, as well as senior P&L and enterprise leadership roles across operations, value chain, and transformation, typically in situations involving growth, change, or heightened performance expectations.

We build leadership teams for businesses where execution, scale, and results matter.
