Central Executive Search has done one thing since 1987: place senior talent in the adhesives, tapes, and materials converting industries. We aren’t a generalist firm with a manufacturing practice on the side — we’ve only ever worked these industries, and it’s why we can find people a broad-line recruiter never could. Depth is our advantage.
Over the years, we’ve gone deeper into the same world — coatings, films, polymers, flexible packaging, and electronics manufacturing — without ever leaving it. We’ve placed people at the same companies again and again across decades, watched careers move from engineer to plant manager to VP, and built a 65,000-name network no database can replicate, because it was earned one placement at a time.
Gary Giallombardo started in this industry in the early 1980s and founded Central Executive Search in 1987 — building its first decades in person: walking plant floors, meeting division heads face to face, learning each operation before recommending anyone to it. Many of the relationships he started are still active today.
In this business, the relationship is with a person, and here that person is Angelo Giallombardo. He’s spent his career among the industry’s people — on the plant floors, at Pack Expo and Label Expo, and in the two professional communities he founded, which now connect more than 100,000 professionals in the field. He holds the CPC, the only professional accreditation in executive recruiting, and leads the firm as President.
He leads the firm’s senior searches alongside a team of specialist recruiters — so clients get the firm’s full reach, not one person’s calendar, and you always work directly with the recruiter running your search, never an account manager who hands you to a junior.
Angelo Giallombardo is an accomplished Executive Recruiter, Best Selling Author, and Certified Personnel Consultant with over 20 years of Executive Recruiting experience. He has dedicated his life to helping both companies and job seekers in the hiring process. His 2017 Best Selling Book, You Got the Job!
