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.

If you’re ready to stop searching and start growing, let’s talk.

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.

I’ve spent nearly a decade mastering the art and science of programmatic activation, working for ad agencies, managing multi-million-dollar campaigns, leading teams, and championing diversity in digital media. 

And in the last 5 years, I launched the Reach and Frequency® brand, a programmatic education platform empowering Black and Brown marketers to thrive as traders and buyers, and created the Programmatic Digest Podcast, a space dedicated to amplifying education, connection, and representation across the industry.

Now, I’m expanding that mission, helping buyers and traders access MediaMath DSP (powered by Infillion) and trusted partners, combining education with real activation. 

This isn’t a new direction. 
It’s a natural extension of who I am: an activator, educator, and connector who builds meaningful bridges between technology, talent, and opportunity in programmatic advertising.. 😃🦄

I’m still offering all my trainings, consulting, and content, that’s not changing.

To me, this transition is like being a chef who has spent years teaching people how to cook with whatever tools they had and now being able to bring them into a brand-new, fully stocked, world-class kitchen.

If you’re curious about the DSP, DM me and I’ll happily show you around. No string attached!! 😀
