Gow & Partners’ Global Luxury Consumer Practice works with our clients to recruit the best talent for senior positions in luxury, retail, fashion, branded apparel and accessories. We place chief executives and senior executives in creative, merchandising, operations and retail development positions.

In today’s increasingly competitive and exciting luxury consumer market, successful companies are focusing on deepening their executive strength. Gow utilizes a new approach to achieve our client’s business goals: as industry insiders, we understand our client’s objectives, culture and values so that the successful candidate is the right fit. Our international team works creatively with global luxury brands, family run and smaller domestic firms. Integrity and professional behavior towards our candidates and clients is paramount as we build relationships that last.

Gow & Partners possess a depth of knowledge in the luxury consumer and retail businesses that is invaluable as we assist our clients in ways that broadly-focused executive search firms cannot. In advising our clients, we utilize our up-to-date market knowledge, network and insights, and make each search individualized. We know who and where the top people are, what they can do and have done and how they can fit into our client’s organization. In customizing and in carefully managing each project, we enable our clients to select from a hand-picked group of top candidates. Our consultants will assist in structuring appropriate compensation packages, as well as extensive reference checking to ensure that the individual selected has the skills, attributes and experience that are required to achieve the client’s business goals. Once the new hire is in place, our lead consultant remains available to support a successful on-boarding into the client’s team, staying in contact for as long as is needed to ensure complete success.

The Gow & Partners proprietary database contains thousands of candidates, representing many disciplines, specialities and areas of expertise. This database is expanded and updated weekly, and our global practice draws on international and domestic market contacts and industry sources to identify the best-qualified candidates.
