Quantum

Excited to welcome Judith Li to the Quantum team! Judith has more than 10 years in the game recruiting for some of the best companies in the industry: Foundation Talent (agency), Uber, Facebook, Coinbase & Protocol Labs. Super intelligent, voracious learner, and the definition of a growth mindset. So impressed with her hustle and passion for serving founders. Had a great feeling on our first call when she said, "I love to work the hardest reqs that no one else can fill." Love her "impossible is nothing" mindset and know our clients are in great hands with her. Welcome to the team!! #newhire #welcome

Congrats to Adam Rowings on starting as Head of Data @ Character.AI! Such a dream match up -- couldn't have found a better person for the role. Pumped to see what you all accomplish together! Search Team: Mike Roney Chris Vasquez

𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: A relentless dedication to becoming the greatest version of ourselves in our lives and our crafts. Our "𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵" for February goes to our Partner Daniel Wenzel. Dan has completed 9 searches in the last 19 days… This guy constantly redefines what is possible and inspires our team to dream bigger, work harder, and learn faster. Dan is a special breed — he represented the US in the u17 youth World Cup & played D1 Soccer at Wake Forrest, the #1 ranked soccer school in the country at the time. He brings that same competitive spirit to the startup world, and converts every Founder into raving fans at warp speed. If you look at his results, you'd guess he works about 140 hours per week — he somehow pulls all of this off while being an amazing husband and Dad of 3 kids under 3… truly don't know how he does it. We're grateful to work with such a world class human with a relentless commitment to greatness, day in and day out. Congrats on all of your success, so well deserved! #MakingAnImpact

So pumped to welcome our newest Partner to the Quantum Executive team! Taylor Guthrie is the guy everyone dreams of working with: brilliant, kind, down to earth, and world class at his craft. He's equally strategic and in the weeds — a rare combo these days. Over the last 11 years at Daversa, Taylor has successfully executed 175+ searches and placed key executives at companies like Databricks, Dataminr, Netskope, Karat & Berkshire Grey. He'll be leading our Go-to-Market Executive practice for Enterprise SaaS Startups — no better man for the mission. We're honored to learn from you and build with you. Welcome to the team! #newhire #welcometotheteam

Pumped to welcome Josh Kohler to the Quantum team!!! We've been quadrupling down on AI Startups, helping founders land the most competitive talent across AI Research & Machine Learning. We haven't met a lot of people that have the technical and business acumen to pull off these searches at a world class level. Then we met Josh! Josh has that rare intellect, combined with a passion for solving the hardest possible challenges. That's the exact mindset we love on our team -- people who fearlessly and relentlessly solve puzzles for founders and stop at nothing to create raving fans. He's also got a killer background & track record to back it up: - 3 Years as Sr Manager Recruiting @ Aurora focused on hyper niche technical roles - 3 years Prior as a Principal @ True Search building engineering & product executive teams for VC Backed Startups Josh, grateful to have you on the squad!! #newhire #welcometotheteam #AIStartups #TalentAcquisition
