Talentfoot Executive Search is proud to announce the addition of Dan Murphy as Director of Client Engagement.
In this role, Dan partners closely with hiring managers, HR leaders, private equity sponsors, and C-suite executives to build high-performance teams that accelerate growth, unlock innovation, and strengthen profitability. He leads with a consultative mindset, cultivating long-term relationships, and serving as a trusted advisor on market trends, talent strategy, and workforce planning.
Dan brings a distinctive blend of enterprise advisory, technology recruitment, and revenue leadership experience. He began his career leading a top-performing branch at Enterprise Holdings before transitioning into technology search and RPO leadership, where he expanded new markets and delivered senior-level hiring solutions for Fortune 500 and high-growth organizations. He later joined PwC’s M&A Advisory practice, helping lead IT separation and carve-out initiatives valued up to $108M. This experience sharpened his understanding of enterprise transformation and the leadership talent required to execute complex change initiatives successfully.
Today, Dan works across SaaS, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, healthcare technology, financial services, and M&A-driven environments. He has led RPO initiatives delivering more than 20 senior technology placements during critical growth phases and executed 50+ placements across enterprise organizations. Clients value his commercial acumen, executive presence, and ability to translate technical complexity into clear business impact.
“Dan brings both strategic perspective and commercial instinct to Talentfoot,” said Camille Fetter, Founder & CEO of Talentfoot. “His experience advising CEOs, founders, boards, and investors strengthens our ability to serve as true strategic partners. He understands that leadership decisions are not transactional, they shape enterprise value, growth trajectory, and long-term competitiveness. Dan approaches every search with clarity around business objectives and organizational gaps, ensuring each hire accelerates performance and positions our clients for sustained success. With Dan based in Austin, a key growth market for Talentfoot and a thriving hub for technology and private equity, we are further strengthening our presence and relationships in one of the most dynamic business communities in the country.”
Why This Matters
Dan’s addition reinforces Talentfoot’s commitment to consultative partnership. As organizations navigate rapid technological change, capital pressures, and evolving workforce dynamics, leadership decisions must be grounded in both market insight and strategic foresight.
By strengthening our client engagement capabilities, Dan helps position Talentfoot to deepen relationships, expand across functional areas, and support companies at every stage of scale, from growth-stage innovators to Fortune 500 enterprises. His collaborative approach ensures we are not simply recruiting talent, but helping organizations build leadership infrastructure designed for sustained performance and innovation.
