Value Chain Talent & Organization Advisory

Our Story

BLV Expert (Besner Lachaine Valiquette) started as an executive search firm specializing in supply chain and logistics. Over the years, we noticed something: our clients' challenges went beyond just hiring.

They asked us: "Is our structure right?" "Who should we develop?" "How do we connect our team's work to business outcomes?" These questions led us to expand beyond recruiting into strategic advisory.

Today, we help value chain leaders structure better, develop better, and align their organizations to business strategy. Recruiting is still part of what we do—but it's now one output of a deeper strategic partnership.

Our Approach

We're not generalist consultants who parachute in with frameworks. We're value chain specialists who've assessed hundreds of professionals and know what actually works at different organization sizes, industries, and maturity levels.

That ground truth—knowing who succeeds in which roles and why—is our unfair advantage. It informs everything we do, from organization design to leadership assessment to workforce planning.

Our Value Proposition

We combine value chain domain expertise with talent strategy and organizational design. We don't just help you hire better; we help you structure better, develop better, and align your supply chain organization to your business strategy.

Your competitive advantage isn't just your rolodex of candidates—it's your judgment about people and organizations. We help you leverage that judgment strategically.

Why Now

The supply chain landscape is shifting. Trade tensions and tariff pressures are squeezing margins. S&OP, digital, ESG, and AI transformations are forcing companies to rethink structure and skills. Talent shortages remain acute, but companies now prioritize development and retention—not just hiring.

In this environment, traditional "big-ticket" consulting feels risky. Fractional and tightly scoped advisory work with clear payback feels pragmatic. That's what we offer.
