There is an incredible pool of talent in COO/VP Ops roles in small companies located in non-tier one markets. I’d love to see a recruiting firm that has that talent on call for bigger roles. (Now do talent hidden managing chain sit-down restaurants)

Which of these obviously Christmas wrapping paper choices looks most like a child birthday? The eternal struggle
