About

I’ve spent the last few years hiring across GTM, Tech, and leadership roles for different B2B SaaS companies. Along the way, I got the chance to work closely with founders and CXOs, understand how teams scale, and see what actually goes wrong (and right) in the hiring process. That’s what led me to build Needlebox - a high-trust, founder-led hiring partner for new-age SaaS startups. Focused on strategic, precise, and accountable recruitment without inflated pricing or cluttered shortlists. What I specialise in: * B2B SaaS hiring * GTM, Product & Tech roles * Founder-driven recruitment * Talent advisory, research & role scoping If you’re scaling your team and want hiring support that genuinely feels like an extension of your own setup, happy to connect.
