A personal approach

Founder, Julia Murphy

Built on Industry Intimacy.

I am a specialist executive search professional with 13 years of experience across consumer goods, packaging and manufacturing, working on senior, business-critical leadership appointments.

Over the course of my career, I have developed a niche specialism within the glass packaging industry. Through a successful track record in the sector, I have built an extensive network of senior leaders and organisations across Europe, supported by established connections globally. This depth of market knowledge, combined with a highly focused approach to search, enables me to offer clients a genuinely informed and well-connected search partnership.

My search experience spans Director, VP and Executive-level appointments across the end-to-end glass value chain, including commercial, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, operations and executive leadership.

This depth of experience gives me a detailed understanding of the market, from supply chain complexity and sustainability pressures to the operational realities of large-scale manufacturing sites — and, most importantly, the leadership challenges facing the industry.
