Represented by Allen Austin

Shape strategy. Drive execution. Lead transformation.

Allen Austin is representing a global leader in specialty industrial products and high-performance engineered solutions in the search for a Head of Strategy & Transformation—a pivotal executive leadership role partnering directly with the CEO Americas to drive strategic execution, operating cadence, and enterprise transformation across the region.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role with significant executive visibility, broad organizational influence, and direct impact on business performance. The organization is experiencing meaningful growth across the Americas and is evolving toward a more integrated regional operating model—creating the need for a strategic operator who can turn priorities into measurable execution.

The strategy is defined. The opportunity is execution.

We are seeking a leader who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments and can bring clarity, structure, and momentum to strategic priorities across a multi-country, cross-functional business. This individual will serve as both a strategic advisor and execution leader—helping translate vision into measurable outcomes.

• Post-consulting leadership experience in a multinational or regionally complex business
• Proven ability to lead enterprise-wide initiatives from strategy through execution
• Executive presence and credibility with senior stakeholders
• Strong analytical horsepower paired with practical operating instincts
• Comfort influencing across functions, markets, and geographies without formal authority
