Early in my career, I worked with a company that hired a man into a financial role. He had a criminal history, but his cheap background check had faulty information and showed no criminal background. Shortly after, he stole roughly $100 million from elderly people's retirement savings.
I watched all of it play out in front of me. Since then, I've spent decades building companies that make sure the right person gets in the door.
My mission is simple: Smarter hiring, safer teams, stronger workplaces.
