What employers say

Hear from founders and people leaders who have hired through Rising Operators.

Adam Kang

CEO, Bree

Unlike generic recruiters, they come from the operator world. Every candidate was someone we'd want to work with—not a box-checker. The pipeline matched our stage: people who already understood complex products and cross-functional chaos. That hire is still one of our strongest leaders.

Rasika Rajagopalan

Head of People, Savvy Wealth

Alex was a fantastic partner on our Senior Strategy & Ops Manager search. He ramped fast, delivered a strong slate almost immediately, and needed very little direction—great intuition and structure, and a steady guide from start to finish. He is collaborative, responsive, and low ego; we would work with him again without hesitation.
