Vetted Leadership Professionals

“Operations/people-ops leader focused on early-stage, growth, and turnaround environments, with hands-on experience implementing UKG (HRIS) and Lever (ATS) to scale without adding headcount. At Niagen Bioscience, drove a 25% improvement in time-to-fill and cut administrative workload by 30% in 6 months, led a company-wide optimization initiative to reduce silos, and coached a VP of Finance into a successful CFO transition that included restructuring the finance org and upgrading key talent.”

“Technology executive (10+ years in consulting) now bootstrapping a startup (No Taker Guard) with an MVP live on a marketplace and 50+ potential client engagements. Has led complex healthcare initiatives, including migrating an EMR system to the cloud via PoC, vendor collaboration, and end-to-end deployment, enabling AI analytics and telehealth capabilities while improving scalability and reducing costs.”

“Senior gameplay animator with shipped AAA experience on Just Cause 4 (cinematics) and deep UE5 implementation experience—often operating as one of the only animators on a project. Led multiple combat-style animation sets, owned mocap cleanup/polish workflows across Maya/MotionBuilder and UE5, and partnered with engineering/tech animation on systems like AI-driven talking characters (viseme setup).”

“Integration Management Office professional focused on M&A integration and human capital work, coordinating integration planning across 17 workstreams through deal close. Partners closely with executives (including a CHRO) by building practical tools like Excel workforce planning dashboards and establishing governance/SteerCo cadences, while operating with strong sign-to-close discretion and data privacy compliance.”

“ML/AI engineer focused on production-grade model reliability: built a monitoring and validation framework to detect drift, trigger anomaly alerts/retraining, and maintain consistent performance for device intelligence workflows at scale. Strong MLOps background with Python pipelines, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, Airflow orchestration, and real-time monitoring dashboards; experienced partnering with product managers to deliver business-facing insights.”

“Senior growth/partnership leader operating at the intersection of cloud, AI, and creator/gaming ecosystems. Has driven >20% QoQ revenue growth and double-digit user growth via ecosystem partnerships, design-partner pilots, and referral loops, and reports shortening sales cycles 25–30% through a strong telecom/enterprise network (Verizon, Dish, T-Mobile, Scotiabank; earlier Cisco/Ericsson).”

“Growth creative lead at Amazon who ran structured, incrementality-informed A/B tests for Prime acquisition on Amazon DSP. Produced a winning benefit-led video + social-proof framework that improved CTR/CVR while cutting CPA (-24%) and increasing ROAS (+32%), then scaled the approach across email and onsite placements for an additional 10–12% lift in Prime sign-ups.”

“Backend/data engineer with production experience building credit/fraud enrichment services and checkout pipelines on AWS (EKS + Lambda) using FastAPI, Kafka, Postgres, and Redis, with a strong focus on reliability patterns (timeouts/retries/circuit breakers) and observability. Has also built AWS Glue/PySpark ETL into S3/Redshift with schema evolution and data quality controls, and modernized legacy credit decisioning into Java/Node microservices with parallel-run parity validation and feature-flag rollouts.”

“Built and deployed a production AI/ML SRE copilot that uses RAG over real-time Splunk signals plus deployment/runbook data to generate grounded incident summaries and next steps, cutting time-to-contact by 30%. Treats the knowledge corpus like a production dataset (quality gates, semantic chunking, metadata enrichment) and runs golden-dataset automated evals to ensure reliability, while partnering closely with ops/support leaders through discovery sessions and metric-driven demos.”

“Co-founded a Digital Loss Prevention (DLP) startup and raised $6M in seed funding by showcasing a controlled, laptop-based technology demo. Post-funding, drove MVP planning and execution by sequencing operations and assembling a team to build an appliance MVP, using an iterative build/evaluate/visualize approach.”

“Built and deployed a production RAG-based multi-agent chatbot during an internship to help consultants answer client questions and guide users through new IT systems with step-by-step instructions. Demonstrates hands-on experience with LangGraph/LangChain/Google ADK, unstructured document parsing and chunking for RAG, and a reliability-first approach to agent workflows (metrics, fallbacks, human-in-the-loop, guardrails).”

“LLM/AI engineer with production experience building a retrieval-based document intelligence system that extracts information from PDFs/emails, backed by Python + Spark pipelines. Focused on reliability and cost/latency optimization (caching, batch processing) and has hands-on orchestration experience with Airflow (sensors, retries, alerts). Also partnered with business stakeholders to deliver customer feedback classification/summarization for faster sentiment insights.”
