About Me:

I have 24 years of Information Technology recruitment experience, with the last 15 dedicated to SAP executive search. In 1985 I began my executive search career at Saber Consultants / CNC Global now a part of SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGIES. Over a 10-year period, I held various positions of increasing responsibility; spanning corporate research, resource management, account management, key account development and training. In 1995 after marching to the beat of another’s drum I founded The Nugget Group (TNG) a boutique executive search firm specializing in permanent SAP placement. In 1999 I entered the SAP contract market under the Go Live Consulting brand. In 2001 I merged Go Live with TNG forming today's TNGGLOBAL a seamless SAP human capital acquisition solution located at www.tngglobal.com. Forging international partnerships with many top SAP Logo Partners, System Integrators and SAP Customers has served the company well. In 2007 I begun development on The SAP Directory, the first search engine dedicated to SAP, located at www.thesapdirectory.com. At the end of 2008 I launched the Independent Recruiters Network (IRN). IRN is backboned by seventy five years of recruitment and software development experience. Conceived as the definitive solution to liberate and network professional recruiters on one platform with global reach located at www.irn123.com. IRN demystifies entrepreneurship, targeting a growing number of recruiters who share a common passion and an entrepreneurial lifestyle. Information Systems are often called upon to bolster market-share. At IRN I believe it’s important to leverage today’s technology to remain competitive; if not mine someone’s. Access to six figure search assignments and 1.4 million resumes allows you to go to work upon activation and your Online Career Center is running in 72 hours or less. Additionally the fact that all our members are bound together in real time means our value as a community grows as IRN grows. Imagine filling an assignment or placing a candidate with a member across the country as a result of the IRN solution making the match for you? IRN deliver the best aspects of “social networking” while expanding your professional network. IRN puts powerful technology in the hands of more recruiters at an affordable price.
