About

I help CEOs and CHROs make high-stakes leadership hires without gambling their credibility. At Talent Factree, we run retained executive search for CXO and minus 3 roles across functions. We operate as function specialists, not industry generalists, because leadership capability travels better than sector labels. Our work is built on structure, deep referencing, and pressure-testing candidates before they become expensive mistakes. If the role impacts revenue, culture, or board confidence, it deserves more than a resume shuffle. We partner with leaders who want to hire right the first time.
