…Some Tech Award, Almost
- Blog

Apparently I was submitted for consideration as a nominee for the 2025 Tech Leader award in Jacksonville. It’s meaningful, sure—especially as my path in the “technical” space is not exactly conventional: I’m not an engineer, but a headhunter whose career has been built on reimagining what technical talent strategy and search execution can be. But why was I submitted for review? Not sure… but I do know that I intently designed a recruiting operation around a technical ecosystem.
Headhunting isn’t simply about finding candidates; it’s about engineering capability, removing hiring friction, and giving every stakeholder an experience built on trust, evidence, and outcomes.
If anything, I’d like to believe that the sentiment of submission speaks of the gap in our industry. Most recruiting models still rely on old methods, missing the impact that true technical excellence and data-driven rigor deliver for clients. At Asymmetric Talent Solutions, we’ve engineered a process that fuses hands-on consulting, proprietary platforms, and relentless transparency—delivering outcomes traditional staffing can’t touch. Executed at scale, built from evidence not ego, and truly solving the complexity that most ignore.
Thanks for the encouragement, and congratulations to those raising the standard across all of Jacksonville’s tech community. I will be there to celebrate with you at the end of the month.
I remain deep in the trenches—focused on client results and pushing boundaries to transform how organizations think about talent. We don’t do things because they’re easy. We do things because they’re right, and because they’re worth doing well. My favorite quote, ever: “How you do one thing is how you do anything.”
I’m intently challenging stakeholders to expect more, and showing them just how much and how long they’ve been settling for less than “good enough.” For years I practiced what I thought was best-in-class—always with integrity, delivering results for hundreds of clients. But there was a better way, and I had to build it—not just to serve the market, but also to stay loyal to the high bar I set for myself. All it took was 48 hours of truly seeing what sourcing alone should be—and I knew there was no turning back. Five years in, I’m still driven by that vision.
