About

I believe in connecting dots and building authentic relationships that helps great companies and great leaders find each other. I take pride in being accountable, thinking outside of the box, and prioritizing candidate and client experience. Prior to executive search, I spent 12+ years in technology investment banking (IPO, M&A, Financing) and 9+ years as a Founder/Operator of a global e-commerce company that I sold. My unique professional background as a trusted advisor and operator provide my clients with a multi-faceted, problem-solving approach to executive search.
