Firm Overview
Consumer brands turn to us when they need a trusted partner to recruit, select, and prepare exceptional leaders for key positions, often in response to rapid growth, a new initiative, a turnaround, or a change in strategy. Our tailored executive search focuses on C-suite, VP and Director roles.
While we began in the athletic and outdoor industry, we have since built a 15-year track record across the following consumer sectors: sporting goods, apparel, footwear, CPG, food, beverage, fashion, lifestyle, beauty, personal care, travel, and hospitality.
We serve clients with leadership needs throughout North America and Europe, operating from offices in Portland, Seattle, New York, Nashville, and London. We offer the high-touch service and care of a boutique firm while delivering the reach, influence, and assessment capability typically associated with larger global agencies.
We have a fierce appreciation for top talent—and the difference it makes to an organization. Our proprietary Sure Hire® process ensures exceptional rigor and consistency. Our enduring client partnerships reflect the care, commitment, and collaboration we bring to every engagement. We exist to make a difference for our clients, one hire at a time.
Noto Group’s popular How I Hire podcast features interviews with industry leaders talking about leadership, hiring, and building teams.
