Chief Revenue Officer at Redfish Technology, where I lead with empathy, strategic insight, and a commitment to building strong relationships. 

As Viola Davis once said, "My dreams are bigger than my fears."

Our Work

Helped a new VP of Sales at an Enterprise AI Client hire the first 3 members of his Sales Team: Our team consulted with the VP to identify the profiles he needed, researched and built a list of target companies to source from, then reached out nationwide to over 350 AEs in our network, interviewed/screened over 70, submitted 30 to the VP for review, and he hired 3 - saving 100’s of man-hours in the process.

We've built out sales and engineering teams with the top 30 Edtech startups across the country.

Placed Director of Growth at a Fintech Startup: After hiring the Director of Growth, we were asked if we could help with two PM roles, they were struggling with filling. We did so in about 5 weeks for both a Platform PM and Mobile PM. This led to an introduction to their Design team, where we have helped them hire 3 Sr. Product Designers.

Wrapping up 2025 at Redfish Technology 

This year was about prioritizing focus over volume—and building real partnerships, not transactions.

- Strong YoY growth
- Higher acceptance rates + repeat clients
- Faster time-to-fill on more complex, senior roles

But what mattered most?
 
Doing the work the right way—better discovery, tighter alignment, and a truly human approach to hiring.

Grateful for the clients who trusted us, the candidates who partnered with us, and the team that showed up every day.

Onward!

Redfish’s real differentiator isn’t speed — it’s judgement.

The data backs it up:

• Discovery excellence shows up again and again as a leading indicator of successful outcomes.
• Clients respond to market insight, not just resumes in their inbox.
• Our content, workshops, and POV compound trust long before a search even kicks off.

In a market obsessed with velocity, judgement is what actually scales.
