Brad Bilen - Founding Partner

20+ Years Increasing Scope in Corporate Recruiting and B2B Sales

Brad spent 17 years building high-growth practices in the recruiting agency industry, and in 2016 shifted to apply his expertise to the tech industry when he was recruited to stand up the first-ever field sales team for Amazon's then-new "Amazon Business" marketplace. The common model across all of Brad's career has been coaching, and consulting small and medium businesses; whether it be on evaluating talent for executive hiring cycles as a headhunter, or in his work launching thousands of new 3rd party suppliers to sell on Amazon and drive ROI. Brad has honed his ability to apply strategic discovery to provide long-term planning guidance that drives growth across all his clients.

Mix of corporate model mastery and Small Business Coaching

Brad's corporate employers have all been Fortune-Sized publicly-traded SEC registrants (Robert Half International, Randstad, and Amazon.com).

Brad's small business perspective comes from working directly with small business owners to achieve their goals in every role Brad has held.
