THELIONS has introduced high-performing sales professionals & entrants into >1,000 fast-growing companies, over 90% introduced by trusting VC’s & Execs. Early days, Matt personally helped senior Lions join LendingClub (including VP Sales; $8.5 Billion IPO), Box ($8.5 Billion IPO), and SignalFx ($1.1 Billion Acquisition).

Matt's passions vary wildly. Music — his Top 5 albums by Kendrick Lamar 🦋, Jimi Hendrix 🎸, John Coltrane 🎷, My Bloody Valentine 👾, & revolutionary punks Refused 🔥. Nature — hiking & swimming, gravity & entropy, Plato vs Gödel. And Entrepreneurialism, in some Post-Randian form perhaps our best hope for a more equitable world.

A "Swiss Army Knife" within our team, Conrad has helped talent secure roles at elite companies, ranging from entry-level through VP titles. Beyond his recruiting efforts, Conrad also develops company partnerships, hires & trains new teammates, and helps streamline operations for our Cooperative.

Conrad's primary passion is travel — with 30+ countries visited & growing. Out wherever, or back home in California, you can often find him outdoors — Surfing, Biking, Hiking — or enjoying French dance music like L'Impératrice, Polo & Pan, Daft Punk, and Sébastien Tellier.

TJ was THELIONS' #1 Performer in 2020 & 2021, setting several firm records in 2021. He helped >40 Lions get hired with an impeccable 6.4-to-1 Introduction-to-Hire ratio, set records for Revenue for both Lion & Leader relationships, and earned himself over $400,000 with help from THELIONS' world-beating recruiter payouts.

When TJ isn't recruiting, he can often be found on the high school football field helping young athletes develop & learn life lessons. Additionally he is an avid golfer, snowboarder, and Dog Dad.

Jesse designed, built, and sold partnerships & ad businesses to the tune of over $100 million dollars in his career. He won multiple annual awards for top performance and helped build record setting ARR for over a dozen video game franchises across mobile, console, and social. At THELIONS Jesse set immediate records for fastest ramp in company history, for both his first 90 & 180 days.

For Jesse, family is life. There is never enough time in the day to spend with his wife & two absurdly adorable kids. He is a lifelong Bay Area sports fanatic, but now more a spectator than participant. Jesse is a sucker for a good IPA, a hike and some time in his garden... with any luck all of them in the same weekend. Ultimately Jesse is on a quest to live a life well lived, dedicated to never taking his time on this planet for granted.

Prior to joining THELIONS, Sean succeeded in helping a friend build a boutique headhunting practice, and was critical in the hires of several finance professionals up to CFO. Earlier still, he developed project management expertise while driving & coordinating multifaceted Engineering projects.

Hailing from New Zealand, you can find Sean enjoying just about anything that gets his blood pumping — whether it be in the waves, on the snow, or under the ocean.
