Building.Scaling.Teaming.
I get in the trenches and do the hiring — sourcing, closing, and building the recruiting engines that scale companies. Not advice, delivery.
Recruiting Execution · Hands-On Delivery
In the work, not above it.
I don't hand off a plan and walk away — I run the searches, close the candidates, and build the systems myself. The work only counts when the hires land.
Organizational design
Working with founders to map roles, team structure, and hiring sequence to the business plan — then owning the plan through to filled seats.
Talent acquisition & development
Full-cycle hiring from IC to executive, across engineering, product, data, design, and go-to-market — closing hard searches fast without dropping quality.
Recruiting infrastructure
The systems, automation, and sourcing workflows that make hiring repeatable, measurable, and durable long after the first hire lands.
AI-enabled tooling
Putting AI to work across the funnel myself — automated sourcing and outreach, AI-driven screening that lifts quality of hire, and fraud awareness that catches deepfakes, identity spoofing, and interview proxies before they reach an offer.
Execution with clarity.
