About

My recruiting career was built inside progressive, fast paced organizations, beginning on the agency side, expanding through multiple internal corporate contract recruiting assignments, and ultimately leading to talent acquisition leadership, including Director of Recruitment at Live Nation and Ticketmaster. That path showed me how great teams are built, where hiring often breaks down, and what companies really need from a recruiting partner. It led me to found Abrazo Group, a search firm built to deliver sharper hiring, stronger talent, and less risk. Let’s connect and turn hiring into your competitive advantage.

  • There is a quiet shift happening in hiring.
  • The fastest growing companies are not just hiring more engineers. They are reshaping teams around hybrid operators and specialized builders who move faster from idea to execution.
  • Roles like forward deployed engineers, project engineers, cloud security builders, and advanced construction talent are becoming real force multipliers. These are the people who can operate in ambiguity, stay close to the customer or project, and actually drive outcomes.
  • That shift is also showing up across building technology, especially in preconstruction, estimating, project controls, and capital projects. The talent in these areas helps determine what gets built, what it will cost, and whether it stays on plan.
  • At Abrazo Group, this has become a major area of focus for us. We are building relationships early with the kinds of operators who bridge engineering, data, AI deployment, and construction execution. Real builders. Real execution DNA.
  • If you are mapping out hiring priorities and want a partner with market intelligence and access across technical and construction hiring, let’s connect.
