TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - Retained executive search
firm Caldwell (TSX: CWL) today
announced a major enhancement to its recruiting capabilities in the
consumer sector with the addition of Rui
Di as a partner in Caldwell's Consumer, Retail & e-Commerce
Practice, and based in the firm's Dallas office.
"Rui has more than 15 years of diverse executive recruiting and
talent strategy experience on both the executive search and the
corporate side, giving her a well-rounded perspective on her
clients' talent management challenges" said Jeff Lemming, managing partner of Caldwell's Consumer, Retail & e-Commerce
Practice. "She blends this experience with superior execution and
stakeholder management skills in an approach that is both client
and candidate centric. Rui is an outstanding addition to the
Caldwell team, and we're thrilled
to welcome her."
Ms. Di focuses primarily on general management and P&L
ownership roles for Fortune 500 companies and small to mid-cap
private-equity backed organizations, and has successfully placed
executives in functional disciplines including marketing, sales,
operations and supply chain, human capital, and data analytics.
Ms. Di joins Caldwell from
Korn Ferry, where she was a member
of the firm's Global Consumer Practice. Previously, she was with a
premier hedge fund in Chicago,
where she led the build-out of the firm's first centralized data
organization. A large part of the effort focused on the
establishment of a new data center and the recruitment of more than
50 big data executives to the firm in less than a year.
Ms. Di began her executive search career at Heidrick &
Struggles, where she built a solid reputation for outstanding
execution and client partnership. Her early career includes human
resources roles of increasing responsibility at top-tier companies
that include Yahoo! and Jamba Juice, where she developed strong
knowledge and practical experience in staffing, retention,
budgeting and overall human resource strategies.
Ms. Di earned an MBA from Kellogg School of Management and
received a BS in Business Administration from Washington University in St. Louis.
A native of China, Ms. Di is
fluent in both English and Mandarin, and has extensive
international and cross-cultural experience that is part and parcel
of her 13 years spent in Asia. She
is an active member of the Kellogg Alumni Admissions
Organization.
"Rui's deep understanding of the market she serves and
reputation for outstanding client work and partnership will be
invaluable to our clients," said John
Wallace, chief executive officer. "She brings added energy
and experience to our team, and we are delighted to welcome her to
Caldwell."
