A global investment bank was seeking a senior leader to head its Consumer Discretionary research franchise across Europe. The role required someone capable of energising the team, challenging established thinking, and building a best-in-class platform.
McLean was engaged to identify a candidate with strong leadership credentials, deep sector knowledge, and the ability to bring a fresh, modern approach to consumer analysis. The successful individual would be expected to drive innovation and elevate the team’s performance across the EMEA region.
Through a focused market search, McLean secured an outstanding candidate who had originally been identified during a “Future Leaders” campaign several years earlier—demonstrating the long-term value of strategic talent mapping and relationship-building.
