Vetted Team Building Professionals

“Recruiting leader who has managed teams of up to 6 while remaining hands-on with requisitions, owning end-to-end process design, ATS administration, and performance metrics reporting to senior leadership (including CFO/CPO). Built retention and quality feedback loops (7/30/90-day, 1-year check-ins and exit interviews) and drove process improvements like job description revisions to increase candidate quality and secure additional headcount when demand exceeded capacity.”

“Manufacturing and operations leader (industrial engineer turned plant manager) who has driven major operational and business-model change in legacy manufacturing, including demand-driven Kanban replenishment and lead-time reduction. More recently built KPI systems and capacity-scaling improvements at Laboratory Testing Incorporated while integrating an acquisition, and now supports Laminators Incorporated at the board level while hands-on building a formal product development process from ideation through launch.”

“Engineering leader who delivered a Magento-to-Shopify rebuild ahead of schedule while maintaining 100% team retention over 4 years at Hydrobuilder Holdings. Also built and ran a concert-listing platform (TourVolume) in production for 12+ years (Webby Honorable Mention) and later open-sourced the full codebase. Deep experience in auth/API platforms on AWS, including moving critical auth services from Lambda to ECS to eliminate cold-start latency.”

“Public sector IT and cybersecurity sales leader with a track record of transforming reactive sales motions into proactive growth engines. He scaled Washington State business to over $1M/month, turned around a King County security account to $1M+ annually, and later drove 27% domestic and 30% international growth as a Global VP of Sales ahead of a successful acquisition.”

“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.”

“CTO-level leader who drove a major post-buyout transformation at NPact—modernizing engineering (CI/CD, QA, observability), moving products toward SaaS/cloud, and scaling the org from ~20 to ~70 while maintaining 97% retention. Uses instrumentation and workflow analytics (including Atlassian-derived data) to improve delivery, citing an ~80% reduction in feature/bug churn through better scoping and requirements. Comfortable with board-level ROI decisions and customer/fundraising conversations, translating technical tradeoffs into clear business outcomes.”
