About

As the Director of Talent Acquisition at ZAGG, Inc., I lead and coach an elite recruiting team that pushes the envelope of what is possible every day. I have over 20 years of experience in strategic search, technical recruiting, and applicant tracking systems, and I have helped scale some of the fastest-growing tech companies in the industry, such as Route, Qualtrics, Adobe, and VMware. My passion is to help people build meaningful careers, while building stellar teams in the process. I believe that the highest value is within mutually beneficial relationships, and I always strive to provide a lower-volume higher touch experience for both candidates and clients. I am always looking to help with professional career advice, and I welcome the opportunity to connect with others who share my vision and values.
