Who this is for.

Most of my work is with startups and growth-stage companies. The roles run across the whole company.

Primary focus

Startups and growth-stage companies

From founding hires through senior leadership, across industries.

Second focus

Larger companies

Director-level and specialist searches. I take a limited number of these alongside my startup and growth-company work.

  • Engineering and technical

    Founding engineers through specialists in software and hardware, plus R&D. That includes applied AI and machine learning roles, and forward deployed engineers.

  • Go-to-market and revenue

    Leaders in sales, partnerships, marketing and customer-facing teams. These are the people who turn a product into a business.

  • Operations, people and finance

    Operations, HR and recruiting, finance and the other business functions that keep a growing company running.

  • Founding and executive leaders

    Heads of function and first executives who can build a team as well as manage one.

AI and deep techI have particular depth in AI and deep-tech hiring, robotics included. It goes back to building Neuralink's technical teams. Any professional role is welcome.

CapacityI work with a small number of companies at a time, so each search gets my full attention.

Tell me about the role.

A 30-minute conversation is enough to tell whether a search makes sense and which engagement type fits. You'll be talking with me. If I'm not the right person for your search, I'll tell you that on the call.

About TrinzikThis practice is powered by Trinzik, the AI visibility and competitive intelligence company I co-founded. Recruiting engagements are separate from Trinzik's software and agency partner programs, and are scoped and priced on their own terms.
