Four functions. One sector. Ten years.
MAVI Partners recruits the commercial, marketing, supply chain and procurement people behind FMCG and consumer brands. Mostly permanent roles, from manager level to the board.
Each function owns a moment that decides the year.

Ingredients, packaging, direct and indirect spend, supplier management and sourcing. The people who protect the margin.
Procurement →Buyer · Procurement Manager · Head of Procurement · Procurement DirectorThese functions depend on each other.
A promotion agreed by sales has to be forecast by planning, supplied by operations and costed by procurement. Marketing has to give shoppers a reason to care.
Recruiting across all four means Sagar understands how a hire in one team will land with the others. A Demand Planner has to be able to work with your National Account Managers. A Head of Procurement has to get on with whoever runs NPD. It also means that when a business needs two or three hires at once, one person can see the whole picture.
