Beauty President Executive Search

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 mandate

The beauty President mandate

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.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between a beauty CEO and President?

The CEO owns overall strategy, vision, and the board/investor relationship; the President or GM typically owns the P&L and the commercial and operating engine. In smaller brands the roles overlap; in larger ones the President runs the business day to day.

Do you recruit US Presidents for international beauty brands?

Yes. We help UK, Australian, and other international beauty brands hire a US President or GM to own market entry, build the local team, and run the US P&L.

Is the search retained and confidential?

Yes — every President search is retained, rigorous, and run confidentially.
