HoodMart eCommerce Head of Marketing

Overview

I’m fortunate to have a strong partnership with a Private Equity client focused on mid-stage firms in the $40–100MM range, specializing in eCommerce and digital transformation. Their portfolio is full of innovative companies seeking that critical growth push before significant milestones. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of placing marketing leaders with SIX of their portfolio firms, each looking for a seasoned eCommerce marketer with full-stack expertise and a passion for driving revenue.

Most recently, I worked with their team to place a Marketing Lead at HoodMart, the nation’s largest supplier of commercial and restaurant kitchen exhaust systems, grease, odor, and fume ventilation equipment, as well as walk-in coolers. HoodMart is celebrated in its industry for delivering top-tier quality and exceptional customer success.

The CEO of HoodMart has been an incredible collaborative partner, leaning on us not only for key marketing placements but also for guidance, consulting, and broader executive search needs. It’s partnerships like these—built on trust and mutual success—that remind me why I love this work.

If you're in the eCommerce space and looking for leaders to drive growth and innovation, feel free to reach out. I'd love to discuss how we can help your business achieve its goals.
