The retail and consumer industry has been a point of focus now more than ever as the world rebounds from the financial crisis. Consumer spending has increased in many countries, and the middle class has grown considerably in emerging markets. Trends such as omni-channel retailing are beginning to dominate the industry, as more retailers now have online stores and use different technologies to aid consumers in making purchases.
Omni-channel retailing, technology, and emerging market growth are driving human capital strategy and talent acquisition decisions in the consumer/retail sector. Leaders of consumer/retail companies today must bring transformational skills, innovation and financial acumen in response to technology’s influence and rapidly shifting customer demands. A different type of talent is in demand with new forms of retailing on the rise. Companies want executives capable of constant innovation to keep up with or exceed market changes and customer expectations. This ‘new breed’ of executive is adaptable and assertive, and often brings a combination of consumer, technology and B2B experience.
