Jeff Barker — Head of Talent
After beginning my career in teaching and coaching, I've spent the past decade+ helping high-growth SaaS organizations around the globe hire top talent, innovate, scale, and achieve their organizational goals. Combining winning teams with revolutionary AI technology to solve problems and protect humans is immensely challenging and rewarding. I love leading our global Talent teams, and have a deep passion for helping others develop, achieve their goals, and find balance in the process. I am all about family and love being outdoors with my wife and two kids. I've been accused of having too many hobbies and am always on the go: playing basketball, tennis, heading up to the mountain, traveling, coaching, and cheering on the Blazers, Ducks, and Gunners!
