Helped lead a brand new division at the organization, which provided incredible value to enterprise and medium-sized companies. Our product and services helped over 1 million people land interviews and find jobs. This internal startup generated massive value outside of a multi-million dollar line of business.

This led to zero down-time while upgrading with significant increases in core metrics leading to millions in additional revenue.

Led all strategy, product development, and marketing functions of a new platform focused on the service industry.
