With over 45 years of experience, SPMB has been at the forefront of building category-defining technology companies and world-class leadership teams. As one of the leading technology executive search firms, we’ve helped investors and entrepreneurs scale disruptive, growth-oriented startups and infused innovation into established Fortune 500 corporations.
Our Operations and Supply Chain Practice partners with companies that are at the cutting edge of technology, whether they face operational complexity in supply chain and manufacturing, transactions, service delivery or customer care. We work across domains like hardware, aerospace, defense, autonomy, drones, robotics, healthcare, tech-enabled services, fintech, real estate, and advanced manufacturing. These companies rely on executives who are exceptional people leaders and agile problem-solvers, focused on both operational efficiency and enhancing customer experience and customer outcomes.
SPMB has had the privilege of helping hundreds of companies of all stages of growth and size find their next Chief Operating Officer (COO), VP of Operations, VP of Supply Chain or VP of Customer Service. We partner with your firm to develop a game plan that delivers a highly qualified, diverse slate of candidates until we identify the executive that’s right for your organization.
No COO or operations role is the same. The operational leadership your company needs depends on its unique business dynamics, growth stage, goals, and culture. Our Operations and Supply Chain Practice takes the time to thoroughly understand your business, your team, and what you’re looking to accomplish. Whether you need a right-hand partner to the CEO leading the business on a day-to-day basis, an internally focused COO overseeing critical corporate functions, or an operations specialist to tackle the most complex operational challenges in your business, we’ll tailor our approach to meet your specific needs.
Leveraging our decades of experience and vast network across industries, SPMB runs a bespoke search process designed to identify exceptional leaders with the right mix of strategic vision and team leadership to drive your company forward. We’ll collaborate with you to craft a precise job description for roles like COO, EVP/SVP of Operations, or Chief Operations Officer to attract candidates who match your exact requirements.
Hardware advancements are fueling innovation across defense, public safety, autonomy, automotive, consumer devices, and medicine.

These leaders are risk-aware, data-driven, and sustainability-focused, while keeping the customer at the core of their strategies. Our team specializes in sourcing executives who embody these attributes, enabling us to present a diverse slate of world-class candidates ready to lead in this new era of hardware innovation.
