Albert De La Vega

Albert De La Vega began his career with SEP in 2007 after graduating from the University of California, Davis with a degree in Sociology – Law and a minor in Political Science. He learned the ropes of recruiting as an entry-level associate during the economic downturn of the Great Recession, and credits his success during this time due to his work ethic, determination, and having a growth mindset. Albert takes a holistic approach to business, seeing things from multiple angles and bringing long term thinking into solving short term challenges. He has successfully helped Fortune 500 companies hire hard-to-find executives and matched Enterprise SaaS companies with long-term employees across a variety of roles.

In addition to helping his clients successfully grow and scale their business, Albert became very passionate about mentoring and growing the internal staff of SEP. He takes pride in being able to adapt his training and management style to help staff members of all personality types and experience levels. He leveraged his leadership skills to become a successful Practice Manager, Division Manager, and eventually a Partner in 2013. Desiring to drive SEP’s growth, he moved to the East Coast in 2014 to open up the Boston office and aid in the development of the NY office. In 2019, he moved back to Los Angeles to serve as a Principal Advisor for SEP’s Professional Services division, while also mentoring the Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago offices.

Outside of work, Albert enjoys spending time with his wife, son, and dog named Bane. He recognizes the value of living a healthy lifestyle and enjoys learning as much as he can about fitness, nutrition, and martial arts (Muay Thai, Krav Maga, and Mixed Martial Arts).
