Company Description
NAO Search & Consulting is a boutique executive and professional search firm focused on specialty and engineered materials across the advanced materials and manufacturing ecosystem. Founded in 2019, the firm is led by Managing Partner and Senior Recruiter Matthew Novak, who brings more than two decades of talent acquisition and HR leadership experience spanning engineering, technical sales and marketing, and end-to-end recruitment. Novaks background includes significant tenure with BASF supporting divisions such as Coatings, Construction Chemicals, Dispersions and Pigments, Paper Chemicals, Water Treatment, Urethanes, Personal Care, and Expansion Control Systems (Watson Bowman), giving NAO a deep, practical understanding of complex technologies, end markets, and the skills required to succeed in them. The firm delivers customized search and talent solutions that align client business needs and talent strategy with the career objectives of its professional candidate network, emphasizing honesty, integrity, and confidentiality. NAO conducts professional and executive searches across functional disciplines, from experienced individual contributors to leadership roles, with industry coverage that includes Adhesives, Aerospace, Assembly, Automotive, Chemicals (basic through specialty), Construction Materials, Engineered Systems and Products, Energy, Food and Beverage and Ingredients, Medical Devices, Metals, Packaging, Paint, Personal Care, Pulp and Paper, and Water Treatment. Rather than broadly posting openings, NAO prioritizes targeted sourcing through social channels, referrals, and direct candidate engagement to ensure high-quality, well-aligned shortlists. Clients benefit from a hands-on partner who understands the nuances of manufacturing and engineered materials, while candidates gain an advocate with first-hand experience as an employee, hiring leader, HR professional, and recruiter. With professional search, executive search, and consulting-led project work at its core, NAO combines industry fluency and rigorous process to deliver leaders who make a measurable difference.
