Build the Right Team Before You Hire
When your business has outgrown its current team, the biggest challenge often isn't recruiting—it's determining who you actually need.
Together we'll create a talent strategy that helps you make confident hiring decisions before investing time and money into recruiting.
You'll gain clarity around:
- The next role your business truly needs
- Leadership vs. execution decisions
- Team capability gaps
- Hiring priorities and sequencing
- A practical hiring roadmap aligned to your growth

How I Work
How I Partner with Founders
How I Partner with Founders
Hi, I'm Steve Rosen.
I help growth-stage companies structure and hire high-performing teams before hiring becomes reactive, expensive, and misaligned with the business.
Over the past 20+ years, I've partnered with founders, executives, and hiring leaders to build GTM, Product, Technology, AI, and Leadership teams at:
(Microsoft, GitHub, NTT Data, Ford, GM, Boston Children's Hospital, and growth-stage startups.)
Building a high-performing team starts long before recruiting begins.
Most hiring problems don't start with finding candidates. They start when businesses outgrow their current team and lack clarity around who they need next, what capabilities will support growth, and how hiring should align with the company's future.
I believe great hiring starts with organizational clarity not job descriptions. The best hiring decisions happen when leaders first understand where the business is going, how the organization needs to evolve, and what capabilities will create the greatest business impact.
