I'm the "Top Gun" of The Hired Guns, a digital talent agency I founded in 2000 -- we just hit our 20th Anniversary. We are well-positioned to help companies navigate the pandemic era because we have dep relationships with our homegrown network of digital and technology pros across every digital discipline from product and tech to marketing, content, design, UX and big data.
We are often brought in to work on digital transformation and innovation initiatives -- which requires individuals who can envision the impossible and then turn it into reality.
The Hired Guns has selected as an Inc 5000 fastest growing company in America and was profiled in Crain's New York for our disruptive approach to recruiting digital talent.

“Champions are made when nobody is watching” – Michael Jordan
After a long career in strategic leadership roles across financial services, fintech and technology sales, I started my own consulting firm and talent agency, FastBook Advisors.
My consulting clients look to me for strategic, operational business, and capital raising advisory. Clients include startups building from the ground up and established businesses, from instituting best practices and creating sales processes to marketing tactics and operations.
On the recruiting side, I work with clients across different industries, helping them fill their staffing needs. I leverage my strategic experience to look at long term growth strategy, and solving hiring managers problems, rather than just filling a seat.
On the talent side, I look at people's long term career arc and what is the right fit not just today, but tomorrow. Nothing excites me more than to see great talent make upwards progress in their careers, either by making the right moves internally, or externally to a new company. I've built courses and curriculum around a holistic approach to create a sustainable platform for long term career management.
I've always had a keen eye towards financial services, market structure, crypto and Web3, as well as technology needs of large organizations and trends in the regulatory environment, and the unintended consequences of change in the rules and regulations.
Are you looking to expand or make a change on your team? Or are you looking to make your own pivot in your career?
Check out the FastBook Advisors website. You can read about how we engage with hiring managers, learn the strategic goals of clients, and the roles we're working to fill.
