Recruiter - Engineering and SaaS Sales

As a seasoned retail professional, I have over a decade of experience in the space.  During that time, I've built a reputation for driving sales growth, optimizing operations, and building high-performing teams.  I take pride in seeing my team members grow and succeed.  More than a dozen team members I mentored moved on to become leaders in other organizations.

I've worked in both big-box and specialty retail environments. I'm skilled at identifying talent and helping them grow to the next level.



During the pandemic, I made a pivot to the Recruiting space.  I was able to assist hiring managers across countless organizations nationwide in building sales teams.  I started my journey as a Full-Cycle Recruiter, which was candidate and company facing which gave me a broader view of the process.

I enjoyed matching top-performing and rising professionals with the right company. My recruiting skills covered sourcing, analytics, and development for businesses ranging from start-ups to mid-market companies.

In 2021, I decided to go out on my own and open my own Recruiting firm, Leo Recruiting.  Leo was an Orlando-based Sales Recruiting Agency that focuses on clients in the Software Sales, fintech, E-Sports Gaming, and E-commerce space.  I was able to take everything I learned from Retail and apply it to this new venture.  Upon the first year, I closed 12 roles and partner with 10 companies nationwide.  

Recruited and/or sourced for the following positions: Software Engineer, Sales Development Representative, Account Executive, SDR Manager, Director of Sales, VP of Sales, Customer Success Manager,  and marketing positions.

Following ATS systems: Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Workday, Loxo and Recruit CRM

I’m Doug 👋

💥 A ‘traditional’ path ended after college. With many interests, I traveled different roads; realized the likes, dislikes, challenged myself to accomplish anything, and gained lifelong skills along the way, knowing I was never handed anything. 

💥 Building genuine relationships, learning new things, being challenged, connecting around business, real estate, investing, SaaS / tech, and  cool startups — all things that get me going professionally. 

💥 Tennis, book shops, local coffee shops, walking trails, perusing quaint towns & enjoying time with my partner and cat is sacred - watching movies and trying to emulate “Chopped” in the kitchen are a close second. 

👉🏼 Previous 5 years ⤵️ 


⭕️ 1000s of clients, multi-six figures in revenue for my own businesses 

⭕️ Partner, Head of Ops/BD in a Sports-tech startup (Think: Booxi or MindBody) in the Hamptons, reaching 7-figures (Exit) 

⭕️ Owner, Consultant & Director of Client Services for Athletic Move LLC - Built entirely through word-of-mouth and referrals, to six-figures 

⭕️ President / Director of Business Development & Operations for a SaaS startup focused on Generative AI, raised $1.8M, raised another ~$1M in LOIs before exiting. 

Currently ⤵️ 

✅ Head Professional, Racquet Sports Operations at Invited Clubs - The Hasentree Club 

What’s next ⤵️ 

👉🏼 I’m open to an AE, Account Manager, Customer Success role in a Pre-seed to Series B org, where I can lean into strengths of building successful relationships early and be part of the growth story.
