“Recruiting leader and player/coach manager who has led teams of 2–6 recruiters and can jump in hands-on for high-impact executive searches. Recently supported a CTO search by building an executive recruiting strategy and process that impressed leadership, and drove adoption of a standardized hiring approach by publishing a detailed recruitment guidebook for hiring managers. Brings 5+ years of close partnership with HRBPs on talent planning, succession planning, and D&I-aligned recruiting.”

“Serial entrepreneur since leaving corporate in 2009, working largely for equity on multiple startups. Building (1) academically rigorous, anti-overfitting quant/backtesting tools for retail investors (with potential applicability to smaller hedge funds lacking quant staff) and (2) a partner-led “social-as-a-service” platform for verticals like real estate/PropTech (including FSBO use cases) focused on first-party data capture vs. big tech.”
