CTO Headhunting

Finding a great CTO is not straightforward — especially because many of the best professionals don’t respond to traditional recruiting approaches. Hiring the wrong person costs time, energy, and can delay critical product and technology decisions.

With my hands-on experience as a technology leader and my relationships within the ecosystem, I can quickly identify profiles that truly deliver results and align with your company’s stage and needs. My network provides access to experienced professionals who typically don’t participate in open hiring processes.

In the CTO Headhunting service, I manage the entire process: targeted headhunting, screening, technical and behavioral interviews, leadership competency validation, and support through to the hire — delivering only candidates who make sense for your company’s context.

How it works:

  • Deep understanding of your company's current stage, challenges, and desired profile
  • Active headhunting, reaching out to high-caliber candidates
  • Technical, behavioral, and leadership screening
  • Structured interviews — including technology maturity assessment
  • Presentation of finalists
  • Support through offer acceptance
  • Payment only upon successful hire
Investment: 1.5× the hired candidate's monthly salary
Payment on the first day of work

Why work with me?

There are many competent people in technology. The difference lies in hands-on experience, especially during critical growth moments.

  • 20+ years in startups
  • Real experience scaling Product and Technology teams to 150 people
  • Part of building a company that became a unicorn
  • Direct work with startups at different stages (Seed, Series A, and B)
  • Focus on real problems, not theoretical solutions

I work pragmatically, focused on quickly identifying what's blocking the business and helping unlock results.
