Vetted Executive & Leadership Professionals

“Talent acquisition leader who has owned the full TA function (and in some roles the broader people/HR function) at companies including Pryon, partnering closely with presidents/CPOs on strategy. Known for data-driven executive influence (e.g., preventing a costly location-restriction policy) and for streamlining late-stage hiring by redesigning CEO/President interview and equity-conversation processes to reduce senior-candidate backlog.”

“Fractional CFO who built a replicable six-week client onboarding and analysis framework (cash flow management, labor, profit growth, staff optimization) that helped scale to 25 clients within ~11 months. Strong in cash-flow constrained environments, using invoicing and payment-timing optimization plus scenario modeling to coach founders/executives on margin and bottom-line impact.”

“Multi-startup founder/part-owner with experience raising capital across stages (friends & family/angels through VC/PE) for a tech platform and a skincare/beauty brand, including building pitch decks and financial models. Also built a boutique wellness services firm by winning hotel/spa accounts from a larger competitor and ultimately sold the business to that competitor.”

“Built a production voice-first fitness coaching/logging system ("Hey Coach") that routes headphone audio, transcribes speech, and uses LLMs to parse workouts into structured data with human-in-the-loop QA and A/B-tested improvements. Also brings a commercial background: led capital markets at a Series A fintech securing $250M+ in commitments and drove early GTM at WorkHQ.com, landing its first Fortune 500 customer.”

“Cross-functional operator and executive partner with experience leading ERP implementations, process redesign, quality initiatives, and platform/new-market launches. Known for building governance and executive-briefing systems that reduce operational noise, protect leadership bandwidth, and keep large multi-division organizations aligned—while maintaining discretion during sensitive restructurings.”

“Chief of Staff and public-sector leader who has stood up new functions from scratch—hiring 26 people and building governance/processes across 8 locations—while navigating high-stakes regulatory stakeholders. In industry, implemented OKRs and performance systems (Leapsome) and led change communications to improve executive productivity and cross-team accountability.”

“Technical founder/engineering leader who has repeatedly built organizations and platforms from zero to scale, including co-founding Direct Derm and creating a full stack system now handling hundreds of thousands of dermatology consultations. Experienced in MVP-led execution to unlock funding, scaling teams with a mix of in-house and offshore talent, and leading API-first/serverless architecture with release-based security scanning and annual pen testing.”

“Business development leader from PDD (product design & innovation consultancy) with high-functioning Chief of Staff/EA-style experience coordinating six business owners and ~20 multi-region designers. Led annual conference/event strategy and logistics (budgets, travel/visas, speaking/booths) and implemented productivity systems like CRM migration, standardized calendar/email protocols, and time-blocking to speed reporting and decision-making.”

“Senior operations leader with hands-on experience removing major scale blockers in high-volume operations, including building a scalable end-to-end chain-of-custody workflow validated through time studies, throughput testing, and client-facing demonstrations. Partners directly with sales from site walks through RFPs to win enterprise clients against far larger incumbents, and drives market-level gross margin improvement through P&L-driven metric selection and controllable levers like overtime.”

“Engineering/product leader in early-stage environments who has repeatedly driven major pivots and scaling efforts: pandemic-era refactor at NameCoach and multi-community expansion at Nolodex (now ~20 communities). Comfortable going from executive roadmap/stakeholder alignment to hands-on implementation (e.g., webhooks), and has led architecture shifts (monolith-to-distributed, Heroku-to-AWS) while managing outsourced/offshore teams through organizational friction.”
