I run sales recruiting at Handshake, where I've been for over 2 years. I spent the previous 12 years of my career at Google, then at Twilio. My experience in tech is split evenly between tech sales and tech sales recruiting. I myself exceled as a revenue generator, and I now specialize in hiring high-impact individual contributors, sales leaders, and executives.
Get the job
I have deep expertise on both sides of the proverbial tech interview fence from my time at FAANG and startups. I exceled at navigating both 'how to break into companies' myself and coaching my candidates to do so. Based on the trusted partnerships I've built with today's hiring leaders, I'm intimately aware of what they are...
As a recruiter, I review hundreds of resumes per week and have a discerning eye for what resonates most effectively with today's hiring leaders. I can help you translate your career highlights into a resume that gets interviews at top FAANG companies and startups I've worked for and currently work for.
I am passionate about mentoring, specifically around career advancement. This ranges in scope, including, but not limited to:
1. Breaking into tech
2. Leveraging internal leveling systems to get promoted
3. Moving into leadership
4. Building your personal and professional brand
