The Cincinnati market for Chief Sustainability Officers

Cincinnati is a consumer packaged goods and brand-marketing capital, with major CPG headquarters shaping the local talent pool, plus logistics, healthcare, and financial services depth. Brand, category, and channel expertise here is unusually strong. Fractional executives are often hired by growing consumer brands that want that CPG discipline without the CPG payroll.
