Partner
2010 - 2016
I was a member of the leadership team of one of the most respected and fastest growing recruitment firms in the Bay Area. In my capacity as a Partner I was primarily responsible for developing Riviera’s expertise and reputation in recruiting high-impact marketing and product executives. Since joining the firm in January 2010 I led close to 100 successful searches, mostly with a focus on senior marketing and product assignments. During that period Riviera grew from a small and dedicated team of 11 to a world class organization of over 80, comprised of highly specialized recruiters, data analysts, researchers, product managers and support staff.
Riviera Partners is an innovative Executive Recruiting firm focused exclusively on Technology, Product and Design executive search.
Raised $25,000,000.00 from Insight Partners, Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors and ROCA Partners.
