A Perspective Forged by the Industry
A Perspective Forged by the Industry
Before I ever placed an executive, I spent nearly twenty years on the front lines of the Food & Beverage industry. My world wasn't recruiting; it was the high-stakes reality of supply chain management and the relentless drive of national sales.
I've navigated the very disruptions, margin pressures, and go-to-market complexities that my clients face today.
This experience gave me an unshakeable conviction: in an industry of constant change, the most critical factor for success isn't the process or the product alone—it's the leadership.

The Turning Point
The Turning Point
A decade ago, I saw a persistent gap. Companies were being served by recruiters who understood the search process but had never truly understood the operational realities of a manufacturing plant or the strategic pressures of a sales P&L. They could find a résumé that matched a job description, but they couldn't always identify the leader who could truly solve the underlying business challenge.
That is why I founded Leo Scott Executive Search.
My approach is fundamentally different. It is not transactional; it is diagnostic. I partner with a select group of clients to solve their most complex operational and commercial challenges by delivering the one executive with the precise blend of experience and vision to accelerate value creation.

Because I have walked in your shoes, I understand that you're not just hiring a Vice President of Operations; you're hiring the person who can solve your supply chain vulnerabilities and drive efficiency on the plant floor. You're not just hiring a Sales Director; you're hiring the leader who can build the strategy to capture new market share.
When you partner with me, you are not engaging a vendor; you are collaborating with an industry insider who is personally invested in your success.
If you believe, as I do, that the right leader is the ultimate competitive advantage, then let's begin a conversation.
