Company Description

Vela Talent is a high-touch, low-volume retained executive search firm dedicated to guiding technology companies to exceptional People and Go-to-Market leaders from Director through C-suite. Purpose-built for quality over quantity, the firm runs 100% partner-led searches that combine deeply curated networks with targeted market research to deliver highly engaged, high-impact candidates who align with each clients strategy, stage, and values. Velas modern, data-informed approach provides clarity on scope, outcomes, competencies, values alignment, interview design, and closing strategy, while a technology-enabled client portal offers real-time progress, collaboration, and transparency throughout the engagement. The team blends boutique urgency and agility with operator credibility earned inside iconic tech companies: partner Lisa Davie built Airbnbs first in-house leadership recruiting team and helped scale Salesforce from 6,000 to 16,000 employees; partner Janet Traynor led talent for high-growth startups and founded HRSE to place People leaders in privately held tech companies; partner Suzy Hathaway brings nearly two decades at Google, Salesforce, Stripe, and HashiCorp with deep specialization in Go-to-Market leadership. This operator-led perspective ensures precise brand representation in the market, an exceptional candidate experience, and rigorous values assessment that results in long-tenured hires. From venture-backed Series A companies to global public enterprises, Vela Talent conducts retained searches across corporate functions with a focus on People (HR, People Operations, Total Rewards) and Go-to-Market (sales, marketing, customer success) leadership. Trusted by technology leaders including Airbnb, Stripe, Zynga, HashiCorp, Salesforce, Google, and Yahoo, the firm is recognized for its consultative partnership, speed, and ability to consistently bring remarkable leaders to the table. The outcome is an executive search experience that educates stakeholders, reduces noise, elevates employer brand, and reliably secures the right leader at the right time.
