About — DCG Advisory Group

I've spent my career inside the companies most consultants only advise from the outside. I've built talent functions from scratch, eliminated agency dependency that was costing organizations millions, and sat at the executive table when boards were asking hard questions about people strategy.

My background spans life sciences, rare disease, and regulated environments — places where the stakes of getting a hire wrong aren't just operational, they're scientific. I understand that a delayed commercial hire or an empty regulatory role isn't just an HR problem. It's a pipeline problem.

DCG Advisory Group exists because most companies at the 40–200 person stage don't need a full-time VP of TA. They need someone at that level — with the credibility, the systems knowledge, and the operator mindset — who can step in, build what's missing, and make the function run.

I'm not a vendor. I'm not a staffing agency. I'm a strategic partner who has done the work you need done — inside environments that look exactly like yours.

How I Work

Operator first, advisor second.

I don't deliver recommendations and disappear. I own outcomes. When I build your hiring function, I'm in it — managing the process, making the calls, reporting to leadership.

Governance before growth.

Hiring fast without infrastructure creates debt. I build the governance first — the ATS, the scorecards, the hiring bar — so that growth doesn't create chaos.

Candor over comfort.

I'll tell you what I see, not what you want to hear. If the problem isn't TA — if it's a leadership gap or a compensation structure — I'll say so. You're paying for judgment, not validation.

Work that speaks for itself.
