Contract / Consultant
Remote (Europe-focused)

I am engaging an experienced Executive Search Consultant / Headhunter to represent a senior product-focused profile for placement into a next-stage role within product, innovation, or strategy-led organizations.

• Position a profile combining founder experience, product ownership, and industrial design depth
• Advise on role framing, market positioning, and compensation expectations
• Manage introductions and early-stage dialogue with prospective organizations

Target environments include:

• Hardware-driven or physical product companies
• Mobility and transportation
• Consumer goods and premium product brands
• Design-led, innovation-centric, or founder-led organizations

• Product-focused professional with founder experience
• Background in industrial design, product development, and innovation consulting
• End-to-end ownership across research, strategy, development, suppliers, and market launch

Full résumé, portfolio, and background material will be shared confidentially with shortlisted consultants.
