Senior hiring help for your startup,
without the full-time hire
I'm Christianna. I help founders make the hires that actually move the company forward: running senior and exec searches end to end, fixing how you interview, and building hiring that doesn't fall apart as you scale. Fractional, so you only pay for what you need right now.
Hiring is where founders quietly lose months and burn cash
The wrong exec hire is brutal
A bad VP can cost you a year, a chunk of runway, and the team's trust.
You're hiring on instinct
You're a strong operator, but no one taught you how to hire.
You can't afford a Head of TA yet
A full-time hiring leader is expensive and overkill for where you are.
Four ways I can help
Hiring systems
The hiring setup your company should have had from the start.
Senior and exec search, run end to end
Your most important hires, run by me from scoping to close.
Hiring training
Train every hiring manager on your team to run a sharp, fair process.
Employer branding
Compete for talent against companies with ten times your budget.

What people who've worked with me say
Including the Country Managers whose hiring I owned.
Christianna played a key role in hiring across the South region, with a large number of successful hires. Strong ownership, acts with speed, and an effective leader for her team. The collaboration delivered strong results.
Christianna consistently anticipates hiring needs and sources ahead of schedule, which reduces time-to-fill and keeps the business moving. Feedback from local markets has been consistently positive.
She is extremely supportive, a true professional, and her team made our hiring life much easier. The TA trainings were some of the best sessions I have been a part of.
Christianna is bright, confident and extremely ambitious, focused on finding solutions. Absolutely comfortable with heavy volume, and consistently exceeded expectations with strong quality results.
Best team lead I've ever had. She leads with a rare combination of professionalism, empathy, and authenticity, and her coaching ability is one of her greatest strengths.
She fostered a calm, respectful environment, shielded us from unnecessary pressures, and made sure we had what we needed to thrive.
