Norman Consultants recruits Presidents and General Managers for beauty and personal care brands — the leaders who own the P&L and translate brand vision into commercial results.
The President or GM is where strategy meets execution. In beauty, that means owning revenue and margin across channels, leading the commercial and operating teams, and freeing the CEO or founder to focus on brand and vision. It is a role defined by accountability — the number, the team, and the customer relationships all run through it.
We place Presidents for brands building a second-in-command, divisional Presidents inside larger houses, and US Presidents for international beauty brands establishing a foothold in the American market. Each search is grounded in the specific commercial model and channel mix of the business.
