Parqa Digital Marketing Agency

• President

  • May 2021 - Present

  As Parqa has continued to grow, it is time to make room in our organizational chart for a true digital marketing integrator to add more significant value to our existing clients and employees. This will allow me to focus on building more strategic staffing and recruiting industry partnerships to expand the reach of our mission to help firms grow through performance marketing and technology adoption.

  As of January 1, 2019 due to Parqa’s growth and success in the staffing and recruiting market I resigned from my position in Parqa’s sister company Versique Search & Consulting to focus on the long-term growth of Parqa. In this role I will lead the day to day operations of the Company on both the sales and delivery sides. My ultimate goal is to build a team of leaders that will train, teach and educate the staffing and recruiting market and allow our internal team to grow and build successful careers at Parqa.
