Fashion Operations & Supply Chain Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits operations and supply chain leaders for fashion brands — the executives who make a creative business deliverable, on time, and responsibly.

The mandate

The fashion operations mandate

Operations leadership in fashion turns the collection into a business that can actually deliver. It spans sourcing and production, the supply chain and its partners, inventory and fulfilment, and — more than ever — the responsibility and traceability that brands and customers now expect. It is the discipline that decides whether creativity reaches the customer profitably and on time.

We recruit operations and supply chain leaders who can build resilient, responsible supply chains, lift service and margin, and give a creative business the operational backbone it needs to scale.
