Executive & Leadership Recruiter

Prerrna Chatterjee

Placing mid to senior and C-suite leaders across India and the US

I don't just read job descriptions — I go deep into the role, the team, and the business context before I source a single name. That is what makes the difference between a good shortlist and the right hire.

01

I go beyond the JD

Before sourcing begins, I take time to understand the role in depth — team dynamics, business context, and why this hire matters now. That depth is what makes a great shortlist.

02

Direct founder partnership

I work at the decision maker level. No layers, no handoffs. I align on what great looks like before the search begins and stay aligned through to close.

03

A founder who recruits

I built Earthist to 6,000+ customers and broke even in 14 months. I understand what early and growth-stage companies need in their leaders — because I have been one.

04

AI-native practice

I use AI tools to move faster and search deeper — reaching passive candidates others miss, building market maps quickly, and running outreach that actually gets responses.
