Regional VP for Chinese packaging conglomerate A packaging conglomerate required a Vice-President who could oversee a manufacturing plant in Tianjin, China, while simultaneously supervising the wider Asian operations. Tianjin is a challenging location in a remote part of China, and for this reason would not ordinarily attract a high-calibre candidate. Sensitivity was required as the provincial government was the Joint Venture partner, a situation which created specific problems. The Joint Venture partner had to be involved in the selection process to ensure full “buy-in”. The candidate had to be capable of aggressive regional business development, as well as having specific industry skills, in order to cope with the demands of a particularly volatile and competitive manufacturing industry. In addition to business development skills, it was essential for the candidate to possess a specific combination of technical know-how combined with a high level of inter-personal skills and strong sense of diplomacy. Salzer Consulting identified a candidate who has subsequently restructured and integrated the regional sales and marketing team, and successfully achieved all milestones For more information on how Salzer Consulting can help your business, please contact us. |
