CEO & Co-founder
“Next to having an amazing board member in Wayne and great GTM guidance from Jim, I'd say the biggest benefit we've seen from SignalFire is in recruiting. We wouldn't be anywhere where we are today as a business if it wasn't for all the recruiting support we have received over the years, either directly from the talent team at SignalFire or through Beacon Talent (which I use regularly for my own sourcing).”*
