CLIENTS

Our client, at the time of this executive search, was the largest specialty direct mail catalog and e-commerce marketer of holiday décor, gift, household, and fashion accessory items in the United States.

Long admired as North America’s innovative pioneer in catalog and direct marketing, the company today is highly respected for its creativity in product development and customer service, and is truly one of the best brands in the industry.

In early 2006 the company was acquired by a top private equity investment firm, and shortly thereafter, was able to attract a cutting-edge industry veteran as its new President & CEO. Under this exceptional CEO’s leadership our client has launched a major strategic and tactical transformation of its business. A critical component: the drive to implement dramatic change based on Lean Enterprise/Lean Manufacturing principles (Toyota Production System and Six Sigma).
