Connect With ON

With consumers now having more access to technology and data than ever before, organizations in the consumer sector must be nimble, adapt quickly, and work in real-time to create value for customers. Executives leading these organizations need deep market knowledge, intuition and technical skills.

ON Partners works with companies across the board in the consumer sector, from high-growth, fast-paced organizations to public consumer companies. During the second half of 2021, ON Partners consultants made high-level executive placements across a wide range of consumer organizations, including Columbia Sportswear, Glassdoor, La-Z-Boy, Shapeways, and more. The firm’s consumer practice saw 75% growth compared to the previous year.

Noted partner Lynda Robey, “The biggest opportunities in the consumer sector today are in broad consumer services and the consumer marketplace space, where consumers spent $2.67 trillion globally on the top 100 online marketplaces in 2020 alone. Unicorns in these categories – Airbnb, Uber, Warby Parker and the like – started from the ground up with an understanding that models are changing. Consumer companies are becoming as agile as ever in order to meet the needs of customers, and the whole space will continue to evolve and thrive.”
