About

Data is foundational. At MongoDB, so are great leaders. I partner with executives to build the teams behind our modern data platform—serving global enterprises, the developers building modern applications, and the AI agents driving the next wave of innovation. I specialize in executive recruitment for C‑suite, SVP, and VP roles. My approach is direct, thoughtful, and rooted in discretion. I engage with leaders who value impact, strategic alignment, and cultural fit. My strength lies in connecting with exceptional leaders, building relationships grounded in trust, and fostering partnerships that drive mutual success. Reach out if you’re curious about what we’re building.
