Spot On Minds

London-based boutique executive search and leadership consultancy founded in 2006, specialising in senior placements across luxury fashion, beauty, jewellery, and premium goods. Relevant to retail AI as a specialist recruiter shaping how luxury and fashion brands define and fill AI leadership roles. Boutique search firms in this segment operate on retained mandates, typically working with a constrained universe of clients and candidates at the C-suite and VP level. In luxury specifically, where brand stewardship and cultural fit carry outsized weight in hiring decisions, specialist recruiters like Spot On Minds function as informal intelligence brokers — their read on how luxury houses are structuring AI leadership roles reflects actual organizational intent rather than press-release positioning.
