This week, the Paradigm Search team had the incredible opportunity to come together in Atlanta for our summer offsite. As a founder, one of the most rewarding aspects of building Paradigm has been witnessing the creation of something from nothing. This feeling is amplified by hiring exceptionally talented individuals who elevate our collective efforts, ensuring that the sum of our parts is greater than the whole. It's truly inspiring to see how our collective energy and ideas come to life when we gather in person. This offsite was a perfect example of the creativity and collaboration that make our team so exceptional. From productive working sessions to fun and team bonding activities, every moment was a testament to our commitment to excellence and camaraderie. During our time in Atlanta, my team managed to achieve incredible milestones, closing two searches in 30 days and 50 days, and winning a search with a new client! These achievements highlight the dedication and skill of our team, even amidst a busy offsite schedule. A highlight of our offsite was our commitment to giving back to the local community. This year, we had the privilege of volunteering with the amazing team at Open Hand Atlanta. It was a rewarding experience, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful cause. Thank you to everyone who made this offsite memorable and impactful. Looking forward to many more moments of teamwork, growth, and community involvement! ?? Carley Johnson Harrison Fay Haley Gordon Lauren Fuller Austin Douglas Kyra Hewes Bobby Gormsen Bailey Willis

I am thrilled to announce that I have recently joined Ontra.ai as the Head of Machine Learning. It has been an incredible experience so far, and I am grateful for the warm welcome and support from my amazing colleagues. Special thanks to Eric Hawkins Yuxiang Liu Charles Chi Daniel Siryakov, CFA Nat Kunes Charlotte Bradley Elizabeth Black Jeff Bohl Troy Pospisil Ben Levi Geoff Apps Carrick Rogers Ryan Hanni Michael Aguirre Mike Whittemore Christina Stejskalova Adem Kastrati Megan Hardy Lucas Heinz Tyson C. Megan Hansen, MSOD and many others who made my onboarding process super engaging and smooth. I would also like to acknowledge Brooke Newcomb Austin Douglas and Lauren Fuller for their hard work in creating the best candidate experience earlier on. Ontra.ai is a mission-driven company, dedicated to Accelerating Legal and Accelerating Commerce. Our software drives digital innovation in the private markets, and our Legal Operating System reduces the time, cost, and risk associated with fundraising, investing, and meeting investor commitments. We use AI and a global legal network with deep private funds experience to deliver better and faster outcomes across the fund lifecycle. Our clients, including Blackstone, KKR, and Carlyle, trust us to transform their legal operations and help them gain a competitive advantage. As a big fan of practical ML and GAI/LLMs, I am excited about leveraging ML/AI, particularly GAI/LLMs, to accelerate our product growth and market penetration. Our ML team is actively working on exciting problems such as document understanding (e.g. chunking, classification, NER, summarization), knowledge representation, entity management, semantic search, and Natural Language Querying, to name a few. If you are interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to DM me.

To land Director to CPO jobs, Product Leaders must leverage Executive Search firms. They hold the keys to the hidden job market. Here is a lay of the land. Aakash Gupta and I wrote in depth about this in the Product Leadership Job Search and I followed up recently with the Tech Exec's Job Search Playbook. I recommend both reads.
