Monica Enda

Startup/GTM Talent Partner | Finding Builders, Not Tourists

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

About

I help fast-growing startups and scaling (Seed to Series D+) companies find builders, not tourists. I believe great organizations are built by great people and that every hire should directly impact revenue, culture, capability, and connection. I believe great people are the ultimate competitive advantage. Founders deserve more than recruiters who just fill seats. I don't waste time forcing anything less than what founders want. I bring energy, empathy, a little humor, and a people-first approach to every search - creating hiring scenarios that build lasting teams and unforgettable candidate experiences. At the end of the day, I’m a real human who truly loves what I do. I’ll push hard for results without losing sight of what matters most - building teams that can grow as fast (and as thoughtfully) as the business itself. Smart enough to know what I don’t know, humble enough to ask for help, and relentless about to getting sh*t done! Connect with me! Call or Text: 513-409-4717 [email protected]
