I’m a talent and recruiting leader with more than 15 years of experience helping ambitious technology companies find the people they need to tackle difficult, consequential problems. My career has taken me from leading technical recruiting at a fast-growing ad-tech company, to building and managing recruiting teams at Meta, to serving as Head of Talent at Protocol Labs during a period of rapid growth across the organization and its broader ecosystem.
That experience ultimately led me to co-found Interplanetary Talent Services (IPTS), initially to bring the recruiting expertise we developed at Protocol Labs to organizations across its decentralized technology ecosystem. Since then, our work has expanded significantly. Today, I spend much of my time helping organizations working at the frontiers of AI safety, AI security, trustworthy computing, decentralized systems, life sciences, and other emerging technologies build exceptional teams.
I’m particularly drawn to organizations taking on problems where the stakes are high, the talent is difficult to find, and the path forward isn’t always obvious. I believe recruiting at this level requires more than matching resumes to job descriptions—it requires understanding the technology, the mission, and the people capable of moving a field forward. Through IPTS, I’ve had the opportunity to help build teams across dozens of pioneering organizations, connecting exceptional people with work that can meaningfully shape the future of technology and humanity.

Our story
Assembling the teams building technology that benefits humanity.
Interplanetary Talent Services (IPTS) was born from a passion for emerging technology and a belief that the people building it have an enormous opportunity—and responsibility—to shape the future for the better. Our roots are in decentralized technology, where our founders spent years helping build teams behind ambitious projects designed to make the internet more open, accessible, and empowering.
As 2023 came to a close, we saw an opportunity to take that experience further. With the support of Protocol Labs and Juan Benet as a trusted advisor, IPTS began a new chapter: building a talent organization dedicated to helping some of the most ambitious teams in technology find the people they need to succeed.
Since then, our mission has continued to evolve. Today, we partner with organizations working across AI Safety, AI Security, Trustworthy and Verifiable AI, decentralized technology, and other frontier fields where technological progress can have a meaningful impact on humanity. The fields may be different, but the thread connecting them is the same: we want to work with people tackling important problems and building technology that can move humanity forward.
Our decentralized roots remain an important part of who we are, and we continue to work closely with Protocol Labs and organizations throughout the decentralized technology ecosystem. But our mission has grown beyond any one technology or industry.
At IPTS, we help the people building humanity's future find each other. We're not interested in simply filling roles. We're here to build exceptional teams behind ambitious ideas—and help more of the technology we believe should exist become a reality.
