Beauty & Consumer Goods
Floor-tested leadership, search-firm precision.

Sales floors don't forgive untested leadership.
Beauty and consumer goods retail is sales-driven, customer-facing, and unforgiving of weak leadership. The wrong regional manager burns through a team fast, and turnover here is expensive to fix. It rewards people who understand the counter and the merchandising calendar as deeply as the org chart.
24 Hour Search leads Manager-through-VP and C-suite retail, merchandising, and operations searches for beauty and consumer goods companies, from legacy department-store retail to PE-backed platforms scaling after investment. Every search is exclusive contingency, paid on placement, principal-led from intake through close.
“I spent years in beauty before I ever touched a search desk. I hired and led teams across national department store retail. I ran commission-only recruiting and know strong beauty talent because I’ve been in the room with it.”

Who we work with
Where the global beauty market stands today.
Steady growth, every year, through 2036.
Where this market is headed.
E-commerce now drives 24% of global beauty sales2, projected to reach 26% by 2027. PE-backed consolidation is accelerating with it: megadeals now account for 47% of consumer markets deal value2, up from 23% in 2024.
Beauty M&A is increasingly targeting science-backed assets: brands with patented technology, clinical credibility, and professional endorsements. That shift is creating demand for leaders who can bridge regulatory and commercial functions, exactly the kind of hire this practice is built to run.
