When Companies Call

The searches that can't go wrong.

Most technology searches I take on happen at a turning point for the business.

Replacing a key leader

Your CIO or IT director is leaving and the business can't stall while you figure out what comes next.

Building after growth

New funding, a PE acquisition, or rapid growth means the team you have isn't the team you need.

Securing the business

Security risk is rising and you need proven cybersecurity leadership, not another stretch hire.

Landing a major initiative

An ERP rollout, cloud migration, or modernization effort needs someone who has done it before.

Filling the hard roles

Specialist seats that have sat open for months while job boards send the wrong people.

Bridging IT and operations

Manufacturers need technology leaders who understand the plant floor. That overlap is where I'm strongest.

How It Works

Simple, fast, personal.

STEP 1

Discovery call

We talk through the role, your stack, your team, and what success looks like a year from now.

STEP 2

Targeted search

Direct outreach to proven technology talent. Not a job board post.

STEP 3

Curated shortlist

Only candidates I'd stand behind, with honest notes on each one.

STEP 4

Placement and beyond

I stay involved through offer and onboarding so the hire sticks.
