We recruit the top talent for early stage, venture-backed startups.
Before founding Kaner Talent, I spent over a decade in go-to-market roles across a wide range of industries — datacenter and virtualization software at VMTurbo, HR software at GuideSpark, fintech GTM software at Salesforce, and blockchain infrastructure at Axelar Foundation. I was a top performer at every stop, which taught me something most recruiters never learn firsthand: how fast you can ramp in a brand-new industry or niche when you actually know how to sell and build a team.
At Salesforce, I helped take the company's new Financial Services Cloud to market — learning how to sell something the world hadn't bought yet, not just run an established motion — while working across dozens of the systems and integrations that make up a modern GTM stack. I later became the 2nd GTM hire at Axelar Foundation, building and leading go-to-market from the ground up through its acquisition by Circle.
That combination — quota-carrying instincts, hands-on GTM leadership across totally different industries, and systems-level fluency — is why founders trust me to find talent that can actually perform, not just interview well.
