Beauty CMO Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits Chief Marketing Officers and senior brand leaders for beauty and personal care brands — the people who make a brand desired and drive demand that converts.

The mandate

The beauty CMO mandate

In beauty, marketing is the product's other half. The modern beauty CMO has to hold brand, performance, content, social, and community in one strategy — building cultural relevance while owning the metrics that drive revenue. The bar is high: consumers are sophisticated, channels shift fast, and the brands that win are the ones whose marketing feels native to the moment.

We recruit CMOs and VPs of Marketing for prestige and mass brands, founder-led disruptors, and PE-backed platforms — leaders who combine brand instinct with full-funnel, data-fluent commercial marketing.
