PHILADELPHIA, PA – JULY 16, 2026 – True, the premier global executive talent platform powered by data, AI, and deep sector expertise, today announced that Alison Tringale has joined the firm as managing director in its Consumer Practice, based in Atlanta. Alison brings perspective shaped by time spent operating inside global organizations, launching and running her own business, and nearly a decade advising companies on talent, growth and business evolution.
Alison spent the last seven years as a senior partner at global talent firms, advising public and privately held companies on senior leadership appointments and organizational growth. Prior to that, she founded and led her own consulting firm for nearly a decade, partnering with organizations on talent strategy, executive decisions and business transformation. Earlier in her career, she held roles at Fortune 500 companies including PepsiCo and Accenture, experiences that continue to shape her practical, operator-minded approach to executive search.
“Alison brings an uncommon perspective to leadership advisory. Few executives have operated across entrepreneurship, strategic consulting, and executive search with the depth she has,” said Todd Zangrillo, Managing Director, Head of the CEO, Board and Consumer Practices at True. “That breadth allows her to partner with CEOs and boards as a true strategic advisor, helping them navigate complex talent decisions, challenge assumptions, and identify the leaders who will create long-term value.”
“Consumer companies are facing unprecedented pressure to accelerate growth, adapt to changing customer expectations, and create value in new ways,” said Shella Abe, Managing Director, Head of the Consumer Practice at True. “Alison brings the commercial perspective and operating experience our clients need to navigate those moments of transformation. We’re thrilled to welcome her to the Consumer Practice.”
At True, Alison partners with public and privately held consumer companies, boards and senior management teams on searches that address critical business priorities. She helps organizations identify executives who can improve performance, navigate complexity and build the capabilities needed to execute their strategy.
“I was drawn to True because it has built something that feels different in the search industry,” said Alison Tringale. “The firm combines the scale, data and resources of a global platform with the ownership mindset and pace of an entrepreneurial company. That is how I have always worked with clients, getting close to their priorities, understanding what they are trying to achieve and finding the talent who can help them get there.”
