Star Metro - Caldwell Strengthens Consumer Practice with Addition of Nicole Woolley as Partner

With more than a decade of recruitment and leadership advisory experience, Woolley specializes in recruiting senior executives who accelerate growth, lead transformation, and strengthen organizational performance. Her work spans chief executive officers, chief financial officers, and other C-suite and senior leadership appointments across general management, merchandising, marketing, commercial leadership, operations, supply chain, and technology. She is recognized for helping clients align leadership talent with business strategy, organizational culture, and long-term growth objectives.

"Nicole combines deep consumer and retail sector expertise with an exceptional ability to build trusted relationships and deliver outstanding leadership talent," said Kelly Blair, managing partner of Caldwell's Consumer Practice. "She brings valuable perspective across the consumer ecosystem and a collaborative approach that aligns perfectly with how we partner with clients. Her appointment further strengthens our ability to help organizations build exceptional leadership teams, and I'm thrilled to welcome her to the team."

Prior to joining Caldwell, Woolley spent nearly eight years with a global executive search firm, where she most recently served in a commercial development leadership role after previously leading the firm's North American Consumer & Retail Professional Search Practice. She advised leading consumer brands on executive search, interim leadership, organizational design, succession planning, and evolving leadership needs across commercial, merchandising, operations, finance, and technology functions. Earlier in her career, she held firsthand operating experience in merchandising, buying, product development, and luxury retail with leading global consumer brands.

Woolley holds a bachelor's degree in fashion merchandising management from the Fashion Institute of Technology and is an Accredited Jewelry Professional through the Gemological Institute of America.

"We're excited to welcome Nicole to Caldwell as we continue to invest in the talent, expertise, and capabilities that define our firm," said Chris Beck, chief executive officer of Caldwell.
