Industrial Technology
From automation to industrial software, we find leaders who turn complex technology into measurable results.
Real conversations
I partner with industrial technology and advanced manufacturing companies to find the leaders who drive what’s next.
Focus
Engineering Leadership
We place engineering leaders who build high-performing teams and set the direction for what’s next.
Advanced Manufacturing
We connect companies with operators and leaders who drive quality, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Industrial Software & Systems
We hire product, platform, and systems leaders who deliver scalable solutions and real business impact.
How I Work
You see the full market.
I connect you to exceptional leaders you won’t find on job boards.
Outreach is direct and credible.
I start meaningful conversations with leaders who aren’t actively looking.
You get candid market feedback early.
I bring you real insight so you can move forward with clarity.
Your best candidates stay engaged.
Top candidates don’t go cold between first conversation and offer.
Outside of search, I spend time building locally hosted LLMs, exploring hi-fi, and supporting Hockey Helps the Homeless. The common thread is curiosity, detail, and community.
“I care about doing the work in a way that builds trust and delivers results that last.”

Why 12mile
The name comes from a property my grandparents bought on 12 Mile Lake in the 1950s. For me, it represents the long view — return visits, consistency, and relationships that deepen over time.
That is how I approach search. The best placements often come from people you’ve known for years, long before the right role exists.
