At LDI Search, we understand that great sales leaders don’t just hit targets — they build high-performing teams, open new markets, and shape the commercial future of a business. That’s why we specialise in placing Director-level and executive sales professionals across Europe, North America, and Asia, with deep experience in complex, regulated, and fast-moving industries.
Our work spans core sectors including Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Manufacturing, and Consumer Goods, where exceptional sales leadership can be the difference between market stagnation and commercial breakthrough.
Whether you’re seeking a Global Sales Director, VP of Commercial, or a Chief Revenue Officer, we bring clarity, reach, and discipline to every search.
The Evolving Role of Sales Leadership
Today’s senior sales leaders must do more than manage territories and pipelines. They are expected to:
-
Develop and execute international sales strategies
-
Lead and scale regional and global sales teams
-
Navigate complex buyer journeys and long B2B sales cycles
-
Integrate closely with marketing, operations, and supply chain
-
Use data to inform decisions on pricing, forecasting, and channel development
-
Deliver on both top-line growth and margin optimisation
-
Adapt to digital selling tools and evolving customer expectations
In regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals or medical devices, commercial leaders must also understand promotional governance, compliance limitations, and regional licensing dynamics — particularly across EMEA, APAC, and North America.

Cross-Sector and Cross-Functional Understanding
Our search process is informed by a wider view of the business landscape. We understand how Sales interacts with functions like Marketing, Regulatory Affairs, Quality, and Operations — particularly in environments where launch timing, product readiness, or compliance constraints directly impact commercial success.
By looking beyond the CV and focusing on cultural fit, commercial acumen, and leadership style, we deliver sales executives who don’t just meet expectations — they exceed them.
