R&D Director, Head of Quality, Head of Compliance, Packaging Manager, NPD Manager.

In today's economy, innovation is key. Therefore, the people who lead the critical technical roles have to not only possess the technical skills to bring new products to market, they must also have the commercial nous to understand which products will impact the bottom line.

Touchstone has over 15 years experience completing senior technical roles, across several industries.

We understand that these people need to have significant technical skill, but just as importantly, they need to have high-level interpersonal and influencing skills, to ensure that new products have the commitment of the CEO, as well as the Sales, Finance, Marketing and Operations.

In order to thrive in today's retail and industrial environments, top technical executives must have a world-view of their craft, and have a keen understanding of what their peers and competitors are doing around the world.

They need to be plugged in to global technical forums, both commercial and academic, and have a hunger to understand what is achievable, not simply what has been done before.
