I run a company called Blockgram which is a Blockchain and financial technology recruiting/staffing firm. We provide talent matchmaking services to connect businesses with competitive resources, such as: Blockchain Developers, Smart Contract Engineers, Data Scientists, Financial Managers, Community Moderators. Our niche markets are: blockchain, cryptocurrencies, financial technology, machine learning and data mining, business analytics, data science, and Big Data. I began my career in Toronto at Yahoo! developing a new eBusiness venture which established a social portal geared to serve a fast growing demographic at the time. Afterwards, I went to the International Business Banking group at Scotiabank to help enforce the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance mandate. I then pursued a challenging role for the Global Client Consulting team at American Express. Soon after, I relocated to New York City to work in financial engineering for the Corporate Services and Real Estate department at Goldman Sachs. Afterwards, I was offered the opportunity to form and head up a Global Pricing Infrastructure and Data Science team at American Express in Phoenix, which I accomplished in five years. Following that, I founded a FinTech and Blockchain firm, Blockgram (www.blockgram.com). The inspiration to start it came from combining my two passions: technology and helping others. Blockgram can help you recruit, screen, and hire top FinTech and Blockchain candidates. From an educational standpoint, I have an MBA from Cornell University, an MS in Information Security and Risk Management from Norwich University, and a BComm in Computer Network Engineering from Ryerson University. I have completed data science certifications on recommender systems from Cloudera and other educational providers. I am in the process of publishing a book on the information security implications of centralized and decentralized data management systems, it can be used to ensure program compliance to the recently published Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (CWF) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This interagency-approved framework includes a data management function geared towards the development and administration of databases and/or data management systems that allow for the storage, query, and utilization of data.

Feel free to contact me for references. Nothing speaks louder than satisfied clients. Recruiter, Talent Acquisition Specialist, and Sourcer in Senior Living and Engineering. I enjoy bringing people together that can truly benefit one another in positions nationwide. CLIENT AND CANDIDATE PARTNERSHIPS LISTENING, trust, and respect-- these are imperative for long-term success...for everyone involved in the recruiting experience. Unlike other recruiters, I tend to concentrate on partnerships rather than transactions. Urgency and a strong sense of "getting things right" drive me daily. The objective is just to be a trusted consultant and provide true ROI to my clients . My client's priorities become my priorities. Philosophy: My mission with every interaction with client and candidate is to listen, focus and get results. I will work diligently to keep lines of communication open with both, assess what is really important, their short and long-term goals, and always keep the communication between all parties open and positive. Most importantly, the people that I place, stay with the employer, for the long term.
