Fractional & Embedded Talent Solutions – US Market
HIRING FOR BUSINESS-CRITICAL ROLES?
Fractional Talent Partner for US Startups & Scaleups
I help early-stage and scaling US companies hire exceptional operators across Business Operations, Revenue, Legal, and Strategic leadership — without the overhead of a full-time recruiter.
With 30 years of recruitment and leadership experience, including founding and exiting my own firm, I embed directly into your team to deliver high-bar, business-critical hires quickly and discreetly.
Whether you’re hiring a BizOps leader, revenue operator, legal counsel, or first-in-role strategist, I bring structured search, strong judgement, and a network built around senior, high-impact talent.
I offer flexible fractional and embedded support, starting from 5 hours per week, designed to fit fast-moving teams and time-sensitive searches.
I work on a C2C or 1099 basis through my US-based LLC.

A BIT ABOUT ME
Fractional Talent Partner | BizOps · Revenue · Legal · Strategic
US Market Focused
With over 30 years in recruitment, I’ve led high-bar searches for startups, scaleups, and professional services firms across the UK, Europe, the US, and APAC.
Today, I work as a fractional or embedded recruiter, supporting leadership teams with business-critical hires across operations, revenue, legal, and strategic leadership.
I run my own US-registered LLC and work C2C or 1099, offering flexible, founder-friendly engagement models.
No bloated retainers. Just structured search, focused delivery, and senior-level judgement on roles that genuinely matter.
I split my time between the US and Europe. My wife’s American, I’m British, and I work fully aligned to US hours.
I’m comfortable operating directly with founders, partners, and exec teams, and moving quickly without compromising on quality or discretion.
If you’re hiring for a role that’s hard to get right — whether confidential, first-in-role, or time-sensitive — we should talk.

Fractional & Embedded Recruitment
A plug-and-play talent partner for early-stage and scaling organisations. I embed directly into your team to manage searches end-to-end — from defining the role to offer — without bloated agency fees.
Business-Critical Roles

US Market Focus
Extensive experience hiring across the US, with particular depth in California, Texas, and New York. I work US hours and operate via my US-based LLC, supporting both startups and professional services firms.
Confidential & Time-Sensitive Searches
Many of the roles I work on are confidential, first-in-role, or business-critical. I’m comfortable working directly with founders, partners, and exec teams on sensitive appointments.
Contract & Permanent Hiring
Support across both interim and permanent hires — depending on your runway, urgency, and operating model.
Flexible Engagement Models
C2C, 1099, hourly or daily. Hybrid and embedded models available. No long-term lock-ins — just focused, high-impact delivery.
