I'm based in San Francisco/Silicon Valley, where I recently founded Main, the first tech talent agency of its kind. There I advise engineers and tech 'intra'preneurs on their careers and consult for top venture-back startups while I work on a product launch. I've spent a lot of time in New York over the past year learning about startups and technology here.

Before Main I was a Head of Talent at Foursquare (and split time between San Francisco and New York), the first employee recruiter at Twitter, and spent several years at Google on its talent strategy team as an engineering and business operations recruiter. As a consultant, I've also hired engineers to Fortune 500 tech companies including Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle and EA.
