Strategic Executive Recruiter with 15+ years of experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Strategic Executive Recruiter with over 15 years of experience in executive search, specializing in high-growth and investor-backed companies across various sectors including B2B SaaS, technology, healthcare, and financial services. My meticulous, research-driven approach to candidate sourcing and passive talent engagement has made me a trusted partner to venture capital and private equity firms. I have a proven track record of placing C-suite, go-to-market, finance, and strategic leadership talent through efficient, high-touch processes.
In my recent role as a Talent Acquisition Consultant at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, I led full-cycle recruitment during a period of organizational change, advising hiring managers on effective recruiting strategies and creating a resume scorecard system to enhance screening accuracy. My efforts resulted in a 20% increase in high-quality applicant volume. I have also worked with leading asset management companies and private equity firms, focusing on mid-level to executive-level placements and employing DEI-focused recruitment strategies.
Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered high-caliber candidates for critical roles, reduced average search closure times, and maintained compliance with diverse candidate pools. My dedication to excellence has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Ox Award for integrity and community involvement.
