About
With over 30 years of experience in technology recruiting/search, sales and leadership, I connect innovative companies with exceptional technology talent and leaders. I specialize in building high-performing technology teams, aligning talent with opportunity, and helping both candidates and organizations reach their potential. Founding inspHIRE Talent Solutions has allowed me to leverage my experience as a trusted advisor, solving complex talent challenges and delivering impactful results. Serving as an advisor for OpenWater reflects my passion for fostering meaningful relationships and creating opportunities for high-achieving professionals. Relationships, perseverance, integrity, and adaptability are at the core of my success. I live in Atlanta, though I’m originally from Miami, and proud son of Cuban immigrants. Outside of work, I cherish quality time with family and friends—whether it's boating, traveling, enjoying live music, dinner and cocktails, or cheering on the DAWGS.
