Framing The Search Assignment

Position: Business Development Director 

Client: PE-backed private-label wine distributor in California

The Challenge

A highly profitable, private equity-backed beverage business in the California East Bay area required a Business Development Director to partner with the CEO and CFO to build the 5-year strategic plan and prepare the company for the next stage of growth.

The challenge was to find a strategic business partner for the CEO who could drive new customer acquisition and perform joint business planning for large retail customers while enhancing overall efficiency across the business.

The Solution

3P Partners successfully placed a remote candidate within two months of commencing the search. The successful candidate has over 8 years of beverage distribution sales experience and was selected for their exceptional track record of exceeding sales goals. In addition, their passion for logistics, analytics, and strategy formation was identified as a strong cultural fit and asset by the client.

The Results

The client was extremely pleased with our collaborative hiring process and ability to identify a candidate who not only had extensive industry experience but was a great cultural fit.
