Consumer

The Internet adds numerous opportunities - and challenges as a company builds its relationships with its constituencies. And, competition for the attention and spending power of customers is unrelenting, requiring organizations to be well versed in the areas of supply chain, product development and increasingly, sustainability. Consumer company executives must be experienced leaders, highly focused but equally flexible and creative.
