InterSearch Worldwide's FMCG Practice Group: A Case Study

For multinational companies in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, recruiting experienced leadership in developing markets is often a challenge.

This is one of the reasons that InterSearch Worldwide, a global network of search firms consistently ranked amongst the largest retained executive search practices globally and currently represented in more than 40 countries, recently announced the launch of its official FMCG & Retail Practice Group, which offers InterSearch's clients the advantage of conducting an executive search anywhere in the world, while guaranteeing the same high level of service they enjoy at home.

"Thanks to the valued input and support of our InterSearch partners, all information relating key accounts in the world of Consumer & Retail was brought together. This resulted in a practice group of more than 200 Consumer & Retail companies worldwide, signifying a tremendous potential for international assignments, as exemplified by several case studies. We are convinced this initiative will serve to support the further extension of our Intersearch network", commented Vanessa Delacourt, InterSearch's FMCG & Retail Practice Group Leader.

A case study is attached which illustrates a multiple country, successful search collaboration done in the FMCG space.  Walter Rach, Managing Director of Cook Associates (InterSearch’s USA partner), worked with the InterSearch’s partners in Brazil and India to complete two cross-border searches for Paramount Farms.

Walter Rach explained, “I was able to effectively leverage our InterSearch partnership to create an successful solution for my client, Paramount Farms, to fill critical international executive needs created by strong overseas growth.”  The case study focuses on the executive searches done for Paramount Farms in 2009 by InterSearch partners located in Brazil and India.

§  Food & Beverages

InterSearch Worldwide Develops Cross-Border Business

In a year marked by a decline of revenue for most executive search organizations globally, InterSearch Worldwide's results for 2009 show a significant amount of cross-border executive search projects. "Cross-border" are search projects in which consultants from more than one country cooperate, in order to deliver the best possible results and added value to InterSearch's clients. 
InterSearch Consultants from all regions participated in these projects, including developing markets such as Argentina, Brazil, Central Eastern Europe, China, India, Russia and Turkey. In Europe, cross-border business was mainly developed in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Ireland. The Americas Region contribution to cross-border business increased in 2009, while the Asia Pacific Region was the one mostly affected by the crisis in terms of cross-border business development.
"Although the global crisis affected the traditional business-introducing countries and their clients, I’m proud to say that our organisation was able to work in a very proactive way and gain the trust of several new clients worldwide. We were able to widen our industry specialties and develop new ones, thanks to the dynamic entrepreneurship and flexibility of all InterSearch members, leading us to the acquisition of a more diversified clientele", commented Patricia Epperlein, Chairwoman of InterSearch Worldwide. 
Major sectors with high demand for cross-border executive search business in 2009 for InterSearch included not only the usual ones like Automotive, Biotechnology / Life Sciences, Capital Equipment, Fast Moving Consumer Goods, but also Environmental, Energy/Utilities, Engineering and Constructions, Pharmaceuticals and Professional Services.
InterSearch partners from more than 40 countries worldwide will gather in Marseille, France, in May 2010 to participate in the annual conference of the organization in order to evaluate the last year results and discuss future strategies.
