Shawna is a Senior Recruiter at Talentfoot and a trusted advisor to companies hiring critical marketing talent. She partners primarily with SMBs, private equity-backed businesses, and growth-oriented organizations to help them build marketing teams that can strengthen brand visibility, generate demand, and support long-term growth.
With more than 50 successful placements across her career, Shawna specializes in search for high-impact marketing roles ranging from Digital Marketing Managers and Demand Generation Managers to Directors of Marketing and Vice Presidents of Marketing. She helps clients hire talent capable of doing more than executing tactics. They must also be able to elevate performance, add needed capabilities, and support the development of a more modern, scalable marketing function that delivers profitable revenue growth.
Clients value Shawna for her ability to listen deeply, understand hiring challenges, and translate business needs into the right talent profile. Whether a company is building out its marketing team, upgrading a critical capability, or hiring leadership to guide the next phase of growth, Shawna brings a thoughtful, consultative approach that helps clients make smarter hiring decisions with confidence.
Her targeted research, strong communication, and disciplined search process consistently lead to high-quality, aligned hires, often in fewer than five candidate submissions. Before joining Talentfoot, Shawna spent nearly two decades in education, a background that shaped her strength as a communicator, advisor, and advocate throughout the hiring process. Today, she combines that foundation with a passion for helping companies build stronger marketing teams and helping candidates step into roles where they can thrive.
Known for her relationship-first style and commitment to quality, Shawna is more than a recruiter. She is a strategic search partner to organizations looking to build next-generation marketing teams.
