From early-stage teams to PE-backed leadership, we help companies hire the people who unlock value and deliver results.
We help early-stage teams make foundational hires across Engineering, Product, and GTM.
We bring technical fluency, founder alignment, and speed—so you can focus on building, not filtering. Whether you're hiring a founding engineer or your first sales lead, we help you get it right the first time.
We partner with sponsors and management teams to run high-conviction searches that align talent with value creation plans.
From growth-stage transformations to operational turnarounds, we help portfolio companies hire the leadership needed to deliver results quickly and confidently. We combine retained-level rigor with operator-informed urgency, bringing context, precision, and speed to every engagement.
