Why Bellevue…
We build teams that scale value.
Bellevue Talent Partners was built to serve a select group of clients with care, discretion, and founder-level involvement. We support investor-backed businesses through pivotal stages of growth - from early scaling to post-acquisition transformation - with a fast-moving, hands-on approach. Acting as an extension of your team, we offer a process that is both discreet and deeply personalized.
While our primary focus is on Private Equity/Venture Capital ecosystems, we also work with select founder-led or mission-driven companies who value thoughtful, high-integrity hiring and understand the impact of every key hire. When you need talented leaders with proven experience, we know where to find them.
We’re not volume recruiters - we’re strategic partners who deliver targeted, curated search with urgency and care.

🕰️ Founder-Led ~ No hand-offs, no layers

Our Approach
◾️ Focused on Outcomes
We don't just fill roles - we help you build capability. Whether you're replacing a critical C-suite executive post-acquisition or filling a gap on the manufacturing floor, we bring clarity, speed, and discretion to the process.
◾️ Built for PE & VC Firms
We understand the dynamics of investor-backed companies: compressed timelines, limited internal resources, evolving org charts, and high stakes. Our process is calibrated for speed, alignment, and precision - especially across multiple stakeholders.
◾️Selective Partnerships
While we specialize in portfolio work, we also support select businesses outside the PE/VC ecosystem. If you value a high-touch, consultative recruiting process, we’d be happy to explore working together.
◾️ Flexible, Success-Based Model
We operate on a contingency basis - you only pay when we place a candidate. That means our goals are aligned with yours from day one.

BELLEVUE TALENT PARTNERS
As a boutique, founder-led talent search firm, we combine deep expertise with personalized service. We work closely with you to understand your vision, culture, and goals - so every placement isn’t simply a hire, but a meaningful step forward.
Let’s build something extraordinary, together.
I founded Bellevue Talent Partners with a clear goal: to bring speed, consideration, and real partnership to hiring in the PE and VC space.
After years of recruiting for fast-paced companies, I saw firsthand how firms often prioritize filling roles quickly over finding the right fit - and how expensive misalignments can be. I started this firm to take a more thoughtful, aligned approach.
We’re selective in who we work with, just as you're selective in who you hire. Whether you're scaling a newly funded startup or reshaping a portfolio company post-acquisition, we’re here to act as a true extension of your team.
For me, recruiting isn’t about resumes; it’s about understanding what success really looks like inside a business and matching the right person to that opportunity.
If you're building something meaningful and need the right team members to take it to the next level, I’d be honored to help.
