We all live in a globalised world, and if we don’t “think global”, then we begin to limit our own potential - as well as that of our organisations. So, as a specialist boutique board and executive search firm, how does Spectrum deliver international solutions to our retained clients?

Peter Waine has joined Spectrum as of 1st September 2016 as Chairman of the Advisory Board. A former Director of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Peter is best known as the co-founder of Hanson Green: for many years the principal source for chairmen and non-executive appointments in the UK.

Spectrum has just begun a search for UK MD on behalf of it’s retained client, a European SaaS organisation. Expressions of potential interest are very welcome from executives with experience of managing and growing a B2B software business.

This UK Business Director - Lifestyle Category eCommerce role is effectively a 'start-up' position within a hyper-growth global eCommerce organisation which is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The successful candidate will be responsible for rapidly growing the UK business at scale and pace; focussing on building strategic partnerships with attractive British brands in the 'Lifestyle' (home, garden, food, kids) category.

Our retained client is a NYSE listed organisation which provides mission critical services to over 1400 corporate customers in 11 countries throughout Europe. Reporting directly to the CEO, a Vice President ICT is now required to take responsibility for all of the global organisation's internal information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure, budget, strategy and team.

We recently asked our clients and appointed candidates to complete an online survey. The feedback has been really helpful and we are delighted that 96.55% of respondents rated their overall experience of working with Spectrum as 'Excellent' or 'Good'.
