Sales Director – Specialist Engineering Manufacturer
Client:
Position:
Sector:
Following a Private Equity backed MBO, by a large mid-cap investor, our client required a Sales Director with significant international distributorship channel experience, to lead a sizeable sales and commercial team.
In order to achieve the strategic sales growth forecasted in the investment plan, sales management needed to be professionalised and enhanced through the acquisition of a highly committed sales leader. Bailey Montagu provided a comprehensive shortlist from within Europe and the Far East, identifying and engaging talent with a demonstrable track record of leading sales growth against challenging and targeted growth plans.
The successful candidate intuitively understood the Private Equity value proposition and had a clear history of achieving significant sales growth. They demonstrated excellent leadership and development capabilities as well as strategic intent, particularly when expanding distributor networks to drive substantial shareholder value.
