Dela Akbar, CPA, CA — CEO

Helping senior leaders and executives navigate their next career move and uncover new opportunities 💼. The job search and hiring process can feel overwhelming on both sides. I guide senior professionals through complex career decisions while helping organizations build high-performing teams- drawing on over a decade of experience leading one of North America’s largest finance and accounting recruitment firms. Over my career, I’ve supported thousands of candidates in securing new roles, and my favorite part is seeing their leadership skills flourish- sometimes placing the same candidate multiple times as their career grows. Many candidates I’ve worked with have also become clients themselves, hiring for their own teams. I’m passionate about demystifying the hiring process for executives. With roles often receive hundreds of applications, exceptional talent can get lost in the noise. I share practical, grounded advice from positioning your leadership experience and refining your executive presence to navigating the job search without burning out. Growth comes from refining what works, gaining clarity, and being intentional about your next move. I also believe in the power of relationships 🤝. Referrals, mentorship, thoughtful introductions, and a human-first approach to hiring can truly transform careers. Follow me for insights on: • Executive career strategy & job search mindset 🧭 • Interview preparation & leadership branding ✨ • Hiring trends & standing out in competitive markets 📈 • Insider recruiting insights from the other side of the table 🔍 • Corporate & workplace trends impacting senior leaders 🏢 If you are a senior leader and I can support your career journey or help build your team, let’s connect.
