Industry Executive Search Practices — Sectors We Serve

These are the true sectors the practice serves — the industries where the reality of the work reshapes what leadership has to be. A plant director in a medical device operation lives inside ISO 13485 and FDA validation discipline; a plant director in chemicals lives inside process safety and EHS accountability. The sector is not a label on the search; it is the environment the leader has to actually run. Search is delivered through Alder Koten and coordinated globally through IMD International Search Group.
