About

At the intersection of Technology and Talent, you’ll find my team. I lead the Technology and Data Desk at Black & Grey HR, where we partner with organizations to build their tech leadership and staff their most critical projects. With over seven years of experience, I’ve learned that the best hires happen when you understand not just the role, but the people, the culture, and the change it will bring. That human insight, combined with a rigorous process, is what turns complex hiring challenges into clear, confident decisions. When the stakes are high or the timeline is tight, we bring structure, research, and precision guided by the BlackBox Method: Market Intelligence | Structured Assessment | Human Judgment. This is how we cut through the noise, protect your time, and find leaders who deliver from day one. What you can expect when we work together: - Deep market insight before we make a single call - Screening that’s thorough, not just fast - Shortlists that are precise and well-justified - Clear communication and seamless alignment with your team - A respectful, confidential experience for every candidate Areas we focus on: - Director to C-suite tech leadership - Product and Engineering - SaaS and platform teams - Cloud, DevOps, and SRE - Cybersecurity, GRC, and risk - Data, AI, analytics, and BI - Tech project and transformation hiring Fast. Precise. Confidential. Human. If you’re shaping a tech team or leading a critical project, let’s talk. If we’re the right fit, we’ll move with intention and speed. If we’re not, I’ll tell you openly and help point you toward the right path.
