Owner

I'm the founder of Talfino, a recruitment partner focused on helping startups and growing companies hire exceptional talent across engineering, product, AI, data, and go-to-market teams.

I combine hands-on sourcing with a consultative approach, taking time to understand the business, hiring goals, and team dynamics before starting a search.

What sets me apart is speed, transparency, and persistence. I don't just send resumes—I identify, engage, and qualify candidates who are aligned with both the role and the company's long-term vision.

My goal is simple: help clients make great hires faster while providing candidates with a professional, positive experience throughout the process.
