Hi, I’m Laurie DeSalvo Santiago, CFA.

I work directly with founders and leadership teams to build and run hiring processes that actually work.

I’ve spent 15+ years recruiting niche, mid-senior to C-suite roles across finance, accounting, sales, and operations. Industries served include banking, financial services, healthcare, software/SaaS, real estate, and construction. 

My background as a Wall Street research analyst gives me critical insight into what drives company performance, and how to identify talent that will add value. 

Whether you need extra support or someone to fully own recruiting, I step in to bring structure, consistency, and momentum.

“I worked with Laurie on a few highly visible, niche candidate searches and found her to be a fantastic partner. I recommend her without reservation and would welcome the opportunity to work with her again!”
