Global supply chain and operations implementation consulting firm SGS Maine Pointe, a member of the SGS Group, has named Joseph Esteves as its new Chief Executive Officer. As the company reaches it 20-year milestone, Esteves, a hands-on leader in private equity and operational consulting, will lead the executive team and build on SGS Maine Pointe’s history of innovative and sustainable performance improvement solutions.

Esteves has held multiple leadership roles since he initially joined SGS Maine Pointe in 2013. He takes on the role of CEO after a highly successful stint as SGS Maine Pointe’s Senior Managing Director and Global Head of Private Equity. During his tenure as Head of Private Equity, he worked closely with PE sponsors and middle market companies as a trusted advisor, identifying, developing, and implementing supply chain and operational transformations which have led to billions of dollars in increased valuations.  

"I believe in our team's ability to not only deliver results but to surpass our clients' expectations, driving their success and growth,” said Esteves. “While many consulting firms focus on identifying opportunities and savings, we dive in alongside our clients to achieve measurable results quickly. With our dedicated focus and commitment, SGS Maine Pointe aims to become a premier supply chain and operations consulting firm while maintaining our top position as the #1 ranked supply chain consulting firm."

As the new CEO, Esteves will leverage his relationships with investors and industry leaders to strengthen SGS Maine Pointe's consultant team. "I've had the privilege of working with exceptional leaders and learning from their contributions to our Total Value Optimization (TVO)™ approach. This has helped us stand out and stay ahead in digitalization and business transformation."

“Joseph’s deep slate of experience and track record of delivering value is accompanied by his strong, client-focused outlook,” said Jeffrey McDonald, Executive Vice President of Business Assurance at SGS. 

Esteves, a widely regarded thought leader, was nominated as one of the “Top 25 Consultants in North America” in 2018 and received Consulting Magazine’s “Rising Star of the Profession” award in 2019. He has also been honored with SGS Maine Pointe’s Peak Performance Awards in Delivery Excellence and Business Development. Esteves is frequently sought after for his expertise by leading publications and recently shared insights in Private Equity International’s PE Hub magazine on creating sustainable value and strategies for navigating uncertain times in the industry.

Esteves is an active member of the Association of Corporate Growth. He received his BSBA in Industrial Operations and Supply Chain Management, with a minor in Economics, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
