Our Specialization

The entire Go-To-Market ecosystem, not just the surface.

While many firms scratch the surface, WaterMark LLC specializes across the full GTM organization — identifying and placing superior talent in:

S

Sales & Pre-Sales

AEs, sales leadership, and technical pre-sales talent who can win and scale complex deals.

A

Account Management & Customer Success

Leaders who retain, expand, and grow your most valuable customer relationships.

P

Partnerships

Channel and alliance executives who build and scale ecosystems beyond direct sales.

M

Marketing

Growth, product, and brand leadership that shapes category-defining companies.

The majority of the high-impact performers in our network aren't actively looking for a job change. Through our track record recruiting for the industry's most exciting companies, we possess the credibility to engage them in high-level discussions. We don't just find candidates — we open doors that others find locked.

And we don't hand you a stack of resumes and walk away. We assess fit, motivation, and leadership risk before you ever see a name — so every candidate you meet is one worth your time.

Built for Scale

Flexible engagement models, tailored to your stage of growth.

Retained Search

Mission-Critical Leadership

Dedicated, exclusive search for executive and other mission-critical GTM leadership roles where the right hire changes the trajectory of the company.

Contingency Search

Agile, Success-Based Hiring

Fast, flexible search built for teams that need strong candidates quickly, with fees tied to a successful placement.

Smart Scale

Contract Recruiting for Rapid Expansion

Embedded contract recruiting capacity for companies scaling their GTM org quickly across multiple roles at once.

My focus is on elevating people, optimizing processes, and delivering exceptional outcomes for global AI companies and tech leaders.

Driven by a commitment to health, business, and family, I'm dedicated to helping you build the technical and GTM foundations required for exponential scale.

With decades of successful placements across hundreds of companies, I am currently leading confidential searches for several cutting-edge, AI-native tech firms.

Let's build your GTM team.

Whether it's a single mission-critical executive hire or scaling an entire GTM org, WaterMark LLC is ready to help.
