Senior Sales Leadership Hire Secures Seamless Transition in Key US Markets

The Challenge:

Following the retirement of a pivotal sales leader, there was an urgent need to appoint a senior individual capable of leading sales efforts across the US. Continuity, credibility, and leadership presence were all critical to maintain regional performance. Key requirements included broadcast hardware expertise, strong commercial ownership, and a collaborative leadership style. Cultural alignment played a major role in the decision-making process, as the business placed significant value on personality and mindset.

Our Solution:

A targeted and collaborative approach was taken to identify and attract top-tier candidates within a condensed timeframe. We also provided the company with salary benchmarking advice, as they previously had a structured and regionally influenced compensation framework that was not a suitable fit for this role and its requirements.

• Carried out focused research into US-based sales leaders across the broadcast hardware sector, prioritising those with hands-on regional experience.
• Activated a well-established referral network within the niche market to surface off-market talent aligned to the brief.
• Promoted the long-term vision and people-first culture of the organisation to attract individuals motivated by purpose, not just compensation.

The Outcome:

A high-performing candidate was placed swiftly, fulfilling both technical and cultural expectations. The individual brought relevant industry knowledge and a people-led leadership style that resonated with the client’s values.

The successful hire demonstrated a strong track record in sales leadership within the broadcast space, with deep familiarity in the US market. They showed a collaborative and adaptable mindset, aligning with both the company culture and local nuances of the US market.

The neuco team were able to help manage a seamless leadership transition, ensuring sales momentum was maintained and the team remained confident through the change.
