Managing Partner at StackedSP

As the Managing Partner at StackedSP, my commitment is to empower tech startups to achieve their audacious goals by stacking their teams with champion talent. This journey requires a close partnership with early-stage founders and the orchestration of world-class recruitment processes. My principal focus is on building high-performing teams from the ground up, and as a strategic partner, I am dedicated to not just meeting, but going above and beyond to ensure the job gets done.

Strong AI credentials does not equal production-ready for a startup.

After dozens of early-stage AI searches, this keeps proving true.

Many candidates with impressive AI backgrounds have never actually shipped AI into production.

That doesn't make them bad engineers. It just means early-stage startups often need something different.

What I’m actually seeing work at early-stage:

→ Engineers who've shipped v1s they weren't proud of (and iterated)
→ People who've debugged at twilight hours when the model drifted
→ Builders who know when not to use AI

The founders we work with don't ask for perfection. They ask for systems that run, learn, and improve over time.
