Agriculture Executive Search, Leadership Consulting

In a world with a steadily growing population and increased demand for higher-quality food, the agriculture and commodities industry must now deliver greater output to more places, and provide greater consistency and quality in the face of limited arable land, changing weather patterns, water shortages/drought, increased regulation and heightened security measures.

Spencer Stuart is a recognized leader in agricultural and commodities executive search, and we have deep relationships with CEOs across the sector. We help organizations recruit and develop up-and-coming leaders, improve the effectiveness of the top leadership team, and support strategic or cultural transformation.
