In her new role, Caitlin will report directly to Sr. Director, Global Talent Acquisition Tony Le, and be based out of  Denver, Colorado. Contentful has ambitious plans to more than double the size of their global team over the next 12 months, and Caitlin will be on the front lines of these people scaling efforts. Caitlin brings an intense passion and over 10 years of experience in recruitment to Contentful.

She began at the company in August of 2012 and was promoted 3 times during her time with 2U, eventually serving as the Director of Recruiting for the 3,200 employee company. 2U experienced a whirlwind of growth during Caitlin's time there. From going public in March of 2014 to increasing the company’s headcount by over 32% and 800 people in just the last two years. Caitlin helped develop recruiting strategies for filling critical high volume roles and establish candidate generation pipelines. She also oversaw a team of recruiters and managed the execution of hiring strategies related to programmatic hiring for teams across the US, allowing 2U to scale its headcount over the last eight years. While Caitlin is not working tirelessly to grow world-class teams, she is an avid world traveler and also loves exploring the local wilderness near her home in Denver.
