Acme Talent, a talent solutions provider leveraged by venture- and PE-backed technology companies, announced that veteran headhunter John Allan has joined as Partner. "Huge win for us," said Tom Nieman, Managing Partner. "John's style, judgment, and experience closing over a hundred searches for tech founders, entrepreneurs, and investors - not to mention his network of elite operating talent - better equip us to help our clients," he continued. Allan previously spent almost twenty years in the executive search industry at Kindred Partners, where he led their B2B SaaS, DeepTech, Consumer, and early AI work, recruiting leadership teams for several companies that went on to $1B exits or IPOs. He also co-founded and scaled the company's operations in Silicon Valley.
