Featured Case Study
BYREDO SAS
Education & Training
As it integrated into the PUIG family of brands, Byredo needed to rebuild its leadership team. Rapid expansion across channels and the departure of its North America CEO left a key role open, and growth called for stronger talent in key marketing positions to steer the brand.
Chameleon Collective looked for leaders who fit not just Byredo's mission but its character and could scale the team. We placed a new CEO for North America and searched for a Senior Director of Marketing who could recalibrate marketing strategy and work closely with the PUIG teams and EU headquarters. Our network proved decisive: we reconnected with a strong candidate previously interviewed for a parallel role.
The new Senior Director of Marketing and CEO are working closely together, re-prioritizing key initiatives across a business spread over different continents and stakeholders. Their collaboration is setting a strong precedent for Byredo, with early results that point to gains in revenue and profitability.
