The judgment
behind the search.

Jason’s experience spans technical and executive recruiting, including NVIDIA during the AI infrastructure shift. That work taught him how much a search depends on the decisions made before outreach: what the person must accomplish, which evidence matters, and what the market can offer.

RunRetained brings that judgment to founders and company leaders hiring the people who will shape their company. Jason can lead the agreed search from mandate through closing, with recruiter support assigned as agreed, while the company makes the hiring decision.

For a team that will execute the search itself, the standalone Leadership Search Launch provides mandate and market calibration, an opportunity brief, interview framework and exportable handoff. Full search can be commissioned directly; Launch is not a required first step.
