Our Specialist Areas Automotive & Mobility Years of experience with key players in the Automotive and Mobility area have given the team at Page Executive an expansive network of senior profiles to call upon. But with our gaze firmly fixed on the future, our strategy encapsulates crucial industry trends: Digital transformation to cater to shifting consumer preferences and burgeoning online domains; Electric Vehicle (EV) expertise, focusing on leaders proficient in EV technology and infrastructure; and sustainability leadership, aimed at meeting environmental goals and emissions regulations.

Building Products After top CEOs pledged to reduce buildings-related emissions by at least 50% by 2030 and be fully net zero by 2050, the Building Products sector has undergone rapid change. On the ground, this demands a revolution in construction methods, recycled materials and revamped supply chains backed by forward-thinking, adaptable leaders. At Page Executive, we work strategically on assignments, applying global trends to specific organisational needs. Our international team shares key insights and opportunities, such as India's threefold surge in volume, Germany's HVAC demand due to new regulations and US and UK construction trends shifting from domestic to commercial.With a global presence, we have experience from lighter building products for residential and commercial markets to heavy construction materials for infrastructure applications. We partner with a diverse clientele, including privately owned manufacturers, private equity firms and multinational building supplier groups, and connect them with change-making leaders. Chemical & Process Industries At Page Executive, we know that advancements such as digital automation, AI and nanotechnologies are prime territory for cost reduction and efficiency in the Chemical and Process industries. But these innovations are limited when companies fail to embrace sustainability through environmental, social and governance (ESG) measures, green chemistry and carbon emissions reduction. To remain competitive, businesses must adapt their traditional models. Our team of specialist consultants based all over the world guides clients on how leaders can impulse organisational change. We focus not only on technical know-how in R&D, process engineering and QA, RA and compliance but also on how to lead in the sector-wide pursuit for enhanced diversity at the executive and management levels. Energy Accelerating the energy transition demands executives with not only strong technical, digital and legal expertise but also the soft skills crucial for driving organisational change. As new leadership roles continually emerge, we at Page Executive foster cross-industry collaboration through our existing pool of top-tier talent and identify new profiles ready for the challenges ahead. As renewable energy firms increasingly rely on data-driven insights and digital tools to optimise their operations, we recruit specialists in advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence and digital transformation strategies. However, we also know the importance of a cultural fit and vet all our candidates to ensure they have the right personality to enact meaningful, effective change. Our experience and global teamwork have enabled both emerging specialist firms and established global entities to bolster their C-suites and boards with leadership profiles capable of navigating the dynamic landscape of energy. Engineered Products and Automation Engineered Products and Automation is a sector defined by continuous research, development and cutting-edge solutions that are the linchpins of competitive advantage. Against this backdrop, leaders who can leverage the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and big data into their products and processes are in high demand.

We provide shortlists of senior executives with the performance, track record and cultural fit to make our client organisations tick. Transportation & Logistics New developments in Transportation and Logistics like drones and autonomous vehicles signal a broader industry movement towards optimising processes and reducing costs. At the same time, consumer environmental awareness is pushing logistics organisations to adopt electric vehicles, eco-friendly packaging and intermodal transport solutions to curtail carbon emissions. Finally, extensive data has created fertile ground for decision-makers to leverage big data and analytics for operational efficiency, customer service and inventory management.Modern executives need to ride all these waves simultaneously.
