Why an executive search firm

We read these on the other side of the table.

Gladwin International has been an executive search firm since 2010. Its CPO practice, led by Anandh Shanmugaraj, has made 50+ CPO and product head placements since 2012. Knowing what a committee reads first is our everyday work.

Your record stays with us
It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.
Your limits are respected
Tell us the figures you are not free to share, and we leave them out.

What it does not do

It does not get you a role, and no one can promise one
It does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches
It does not add achievements you do not have. Every claim must be yours to defend

Before you decide

The questions we are asked first

What should a CPO resume include?

A CPO resume should open with a line written for the seat you want, then lead with what that reader looks for first: the numbers your product moved, such as retention, activation and revenue, what you chose not to build, the size of the team you led, and whether you have owned a P&L. Feature lists step back. A founder and a global product head read the same career differently.

How much does a CPO resume or board profile cost?

One document is ₹30,000, with 3 revisions. 10 documents over 12 months are ₹75,000. Both are plus GST.

What is the difference between a CPO resume and a board profile?

A resume sells you for an executive role, so it leads with what you ran and delivered. A board profile is read for governance and judgement, so it leads with committees, your dealings with regulators and shareholders, and the calls you owned.

How does the 10-document pack work?

You have 12 months from purchase to use all 10. Bring us a role you are applying for and we prepare the document for it.

Can the pack include board profiles and decks?

Yes. Each of the documents can be a resume, a board profile or a consulting deck.

Who sees my record?

It is used only to prepare your documents. It is not circulated to any hiring side.

Does this get me a role?

No one can promise a role, and we do not. Buying a document does not put you on a shortlist for our retained searches.

One career, read by very different people.

₹30,000 a document, or ₹75,000 for 10, plus GST.
