John Muir Land Trust

Director & Past Chair, Board of Directors

Having joined C1 with an employee count of just 70, I helped grow the Company to a whopping 3,900 in under 4 years. Prior to C1's 1999 IPO, I launched their "People Department" (HR), with a pronounced focus on talent scouting. I led the HR integration of 5 major acquisitions, and personally conducted all executive searches for senior management positions.  It was a wild, crazy, E-ticket ride, but alas it all came to a crashing end...

Chief People Officer / VP Talent

As retained headhunters, we specialized in the toughest of executive & technical searches, primarily for software startups. Past searches included the hiring of hundreds of executives - Presidents, COOs, CFOs, CTOs, & VPs of Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Professional Services, Finance & HR. We've also hired thousands of exceptional candidates at the director, manager & individual contributor levels.

Principal

Served in over 10 distinct roles while at the Fed, including leadership positions in: Human Resources, Sales, Product Support, Cash Operations, as well as special projects (e.g., litigation). Through it all, I was proud to work for the Fed. That said, I often felt like a fish swimming upstream; as a quasi-governmental agency, it ain't for everyone.
