Chief Digital Officer - EMEA

Our client is accelerating their digital transformation and asked for our assistance in finding a Chief Digital Officer as soon as possible. The process took 3 months from the initial call with Phelps Sabio Executive Recruitment to the chosen candidate accepting the offer.

Reporting to the Managing Director for EMEA and working closely with the global organization located in the US, this was a high visibility position with the opportunity to have long-term career development and a significant impact on the business.

The company offers B2B and B2C services in over 200 countries. As the result of a clearly defined road map, investment, and innovative thinking, the company has continued to grow over the past year by increasing their digital capabilities. Recently, they decided to bring in a new Chief Digital Officer with a proven track record in digital transformation to create a clearly defined, long-term strategy. The CDO will continue to drive the company’s digital transformation with a particular focus on customer experience.

The right person had to be technical, business-minded, organized, and capable of influencing stakeholders at all levels in order to identify pain points and create solutions. Solid experience in leading a diverse international team, increasing cross-function communication, data analytics for return on investment and digital marketing were required.

As the result of a European wide search, and a flexible location, Phelps Sabio was able to provide a solid list of qualified candidates in under two weeks.
