@erindonovan
Experienced talent and people strategy leader driving leadership hiring and organizational transformation.
United StatesI am an innovative, data-driven talent leader with 20+ years of experience leading talent effectiveness, executive search, and people strategy across public, venture capital and private-equity-backed environments.
I have built in-house executive search functions that eliminated $1.5M+ in annual external search costs and delivered measurable outcomes, including reducing executive time-to-fill by 30% and increasing quality-of-hire scores by 25%. I drove a 25x MOIC and $96M in incremental enterprise value by assembling a leadership team that enabled a $100M exit within 12 months of a $4M seed investment.
I partner with founders, deal teams, and operating partners to align people strategy with investment theses, modernize hiring through behavioral assessments and AI-powered screening, and quantify the EBITDA impact of leadership changes to accelerate value creation and operational efficiency.
