In today’s highly competitive market it is not enough to simply identify and map the target population. Whilst this is a necessary exercise in ensuring that a thorough search is conducted, our skills lie in obtaining the well placed recommendations and referrals leading us to the most highly regarded and well qualified individuals in a given area of specialism.

Whilst our capability is not limited to specific industry sectors, we have developed areas of expertise in Consumer / Retail, Health and Life Sciences, Financial Services and the Public Sector. In addition to our specific search projects, our strategy team will undertake additional research projects that investigate emerging trends and themes – eg, the value and analysis of the Customer across all sectors, the impact of the ageing population on the Health and Life Sciences industry and policies and practices around gender diversity in market leading organisations.

In strategy our track record encompasses key appointments into client strategy firms and placing strategy consultants into industry.

• The successful placement of a Business Analytics Leader with a global pharmaceutical client that wanted to build its internal consulting capability having previously used a major top-tier strategy house.
• The successful placement of a Director with a brief to strengthen and consolidate our client firm’s capability specifically in European Brand Strategy. As a consequence of this project, Walgrove also successfully identified and appointed a US counterpart to head Brand strategy in this region.
• The successful placements of a Senior Manager and a Director within the Consumer Products / Life Sciences teams with a ‘Big 4’management consultancy based here in London.
