XQtiv Consulting

• Founder and CEO

  • Jan 2021 - Present

  At XQtiv, we specialize and revel in finding "force multiplier" executives and building "force multiplier" teams. The term "force multiplier" has its roots in physics and means a lever, a wheel or wedge that increases the amount of force one can place on an object. In military terms, a force multiplier makes a military force more effective. In our lexicon, these are roles/ teams that can significantly impact the growth trajectory of the company. In our experience, building such teams requires more than just skills and experience driven recruiting. Talk to us to learn how we have bought consulting, search and client management experience to develop a unique world class playbook for building "force multiplier" teams.
