The Managing Director Hire is Critical
The role of a Managing Director is one of the most challenging in any corporate structure. It requires the autonomy to run a business unit as if it were a standalone company, while maintaining the discipline to align with the wider Group strategy.
Whether you need a leader to spearhead a new international territory, turn around an underperforming subsidiary, or lead a core division through a period of change, the profile is specific. You need a P&L owner—someone who understands the commercial levers of revenue, cost, and margin, and who can lead a multi-functional team without constant oversight.
