In our present global economy operations executives tend to have a broad base of experience that touches on more than one discipline and is no longer compartmentalized. It is just as likely that the person running global logistics came up through manufacturing and the executive running outsourced manufacturing grew up in logistics or engineering. Because today's economy demands global experience from its operations executives the talent pool is increasingly more sophisticated and educated. Furthermore, searches for a global operations executive, by nature, cannot be limited to the location of the position and should expand to include talent outside the region as well as the country where the position is based. At Flynn Global search we recruit COO, SVP Operations, SVP Manufacturing, Vice President and Vice President/GMs to run operations that range from a single domestic operation to those with multiple global manufacturing, distribution and outsourced sites.
