He is a leader and teacher in all facets of the recruitment and placement process, including talent sourcing, cold calling, referral generation, account management and service, deal negotiations, and process quality control.

Nat launched his 20-year professional career in finance and accounting recruiting/staffing in October 1998 with Don Richard Associates – a well-known finance and accounting firm – providing permanent and temporary operational support. After being promoted to a permanent placement desk four months in, he grew into a top-ranked regional performer/manager within two years, and earned the ACSYS Staffing Top National Producer award in 2003. After six years with ACSYS (formerly Don Richard) he joined a small, growing firm, Spectrum, where he continued his executive and professional permanent focus and success. In 2008, after 10 years in the business, Nat founded and launched a boutique firm, ChangeUp, LLC, where he focused on executive and professional search and recruitment advisory services to various clients. Nat has been instrumental within the corporate recruiting environment as well, executing consistently in a high-volume group at Fannie Mae and later helping create a best-in-class talent brand at Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest multi-national hotel operating company. His practical corporate talent acquisition experience equips and enables him to fully understand and anticipate the challenges of acquiring the right talent from a client perspective.
