Founder at Bright Link Talent | Connecting Top Talent with High-Growth Startups

Scaling a team shouldn’t feel like a guessing game, but for many founders and hiring managers, it does.

Here’s what I see all the time:

➔ Companies scrambling to fill GTM roles but losing time (and revenue) to endless hiring cycles.
➔ Founders frustrated by the lack of alignment between their mission and the candidates they meet.
➔ Hiring managers overwhelmed by sourcing, screening, and trying to find talent that truly fits.

Without the right support, building a high-performing team can feel like an impossible task.

Recently, a founder reached out:

“We need to hire a Sales Director and a Head of Customer Success, but I don’t have the bandwidth to manage it. Every delay means we’re leaving money on the table, and I just need someone who can make it happen.”

It’s a common story. Leaders want to scale fast but get stuck in the bottleneck of finding the right people.

With over 10 years of experience in the industry, my approach cuts through the noise, prioritizing long-term relationships and a collaborative effort to match the right candidates with the right opportunities.

We specialize in:

➔ Delivering top GTM talent fast—often within days.
➔ Managing the hiring process end-to-end so you can stay focused on growth.
➔ Building revenue-generating teams that align with your mission and drive results.

I’ve helped founders and hiring managers at high-growth tech startups hire for roles like:

➔ Sales Leadership
➔ Marketing Strategy
➔ Customer Success Management
➔ Operations and Revenue Enablement

At Bright Link Talent, we don’t just fill roles; we build the teams that scale companies.

A few years ago, I stayed in a situation that was making me very sick.

I kept telling myself that if I could just get to the next milestone, the next phase, the next win… it would finally get better.

Spoiler alert. It didn’t. It got worse.

I nearly lost my health and my sanity in the process.

Recovering from that chapter took everything.

Maybe you’ve been there.
Maybe you’re there right now.

You tell yourself it’s temporary.

You hang on a little longer. 

Just until equity vests. 
Just until the bonus hits. 
Just until things “settle.”

So when candidates say:

“My boss promised things would change.”
“I want to see what happens at QBR.” 
“I’ll leave after my bonus.”
“We’re about to raise.” 

I understand.

Here’s what I know now:

You don’t have to get sick or hit a breaking point to walk away.

If you’re waiting for the “right time,” ask yourself this:

What if the milestone you’re waiting for… is choosing to leave?

PS: Maybe it’s time to take that recruiter call. 

I’ve got a few 1:1 spots open before the holidays.

18 months.

That's the typical shelf-life for a sales leader in B2B Tech.

The reason?

There are several actually.

Win rates at 10-15% or lower.

Quota attainment at 30% on average.

Sales rep turnover tremendously high.

All of those costs add up and that's BEFORE you factor in the economic landscape.

Can sales leaders continue to have this failure rate and expect to survive?

No.

So what's the fix?

There are several but for accelerating growth organizations, you should be looking at your sales interviewing and onboarding processes.

And that's where Yardstick can help.

I've partnered with the Yardstick team as their Product Ambassador because sales hiring and onboarding is broken.

What better way to start the process of solving the problem than teaming up with a CEO who's got a track-record for successful startup launches and exits?

I'm looking forward to helping sales organizations stop their revolving door of reps.

Let's talk.

One of the biggest challenges that B2B SaaS teams face is being able to cut through the noise their customers are dealing with. 

No amount of emailing, calling, or pitch slaps in the DMs is going to overcome that challenge. 

Today's buyer is in self-service mode and if sales and marketing teams want to meet them where they are, they will need to operate with a collaboration mindset. 

Sales and marketing teams need to seek to understand before trying to be understood. 

And it needs to be done in a way that's authentic. 

That's what I help teams accomplish. 

I've helped organizations build markets and segments from the ground up. 

I've done this in IT staffing and recruiting, HRTech, TATech, and in the K12 tech space. 

If you're not getting traction in your target markets and need help, we should have a conversation.
