As a Senior Principal Recruiter at SwingSearch, Dave partners with founders to build GTM teams designed for rapid, efficient scale. His focus is on securing “stage-specific” AE talent – the type of builders who can transform a startup’s vision into a dominant market presence.
Prior to SwingSearch, Dave spent four years at a high-growth Enterprise AI SaaS company, helping drive a talent engine that tripled revenue ($40M to $140M) while only doubling headcount. His experience spans the entire GTM hierarchy, from individual contributors to Director and VP-level leadership. He’s built GTM teams tailored to highly complex and segmented sales motions, ensuring the right talent is matched to the specific demands of the market.
He brings this repeatable blueprint to his clients at SwingSearch because he understands that for an early-stage company, every hire is a high-stakes decision. Dave helps founders skip the trial-and-error phase by securing the exact GTM DNA needed to drive both aggressive growth and long-term profitability.
