Source.Close.Build the system.

I run critical searches hands-on—mapping the market, sourcing and closing candidates—then build the scorecards, workflows, and AI-enabled recruiting systems that make every search better.

Recruiting Execution  ·  Hands-On Delivery

Hands-on where it changes the outcome.

I stay close enough to the work to see where a search is breaking, solve it directly, and turn what works into a stronger recruiting system for every search that follows.

01

Hiring architecture

Turning the business plan into roles, sequencing, scorecards, and an operating model that makes clear what the company needs to hire and why.

02

Critical search execution

Taking on consequential and ambiguous searches from IC to executive, then sourcing, evaluating, and closing the people who can move the plan forward.

03

Systems & automation

Building the workflows, tooling, and AI-enabled infrastructure that improve speed and signal without removing judgment from the process.

04

Hiring standards

Giving everyone involved in hiring a clearer way to define the bar, assess evidence, make decisions, and learn from the people who ultimately succeed.

Execution with clarity.
