JEREMY TURPEN JOINS WESTWOOD & WILSHIRE AS A DIRECTOR IN THE TECHNOLOGY PRACTICE
Westwood & Wilshire, a retained executive recruitment firm with an emphasis in Life Sciences, Advanced Technology and Healthcare, has announced the appointment of Jeremy Turpen as the new Director for the Advanced Technology Practice.
“Jeremy is an ideal addition to our Technology Practice given his extensive successful background in recruiting for advanced technology companies, speed of execution, and commitment to client satisfaction,” said Kristin Speer, Managing Partner of the Technology Practice.
“I'm excited to join Westwood Wilshire and join them in their commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion with their hiring processes,” said Jeremy, who has a seat on the board of the Diversity Center in Santa Cruz and previously served as a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisor. “I take pride in shaping cultures that celebrate different points of view from diverse backgrounds. If you're not adding diverse talent and empowering under-represented minorities, your organization is not living up to its full potential.”
Prior to joining Westwood & Wilshire, Jeremy spent nearly a decade at Wavestaff, where he served as an Account Executive, Executive Recruiter and DEI Advisor. There, he drew on his incredible network of talent in the Bay Area and beyond to help build executive teams with top talent at VC backed, high-growth SaaS startups. In addition to his board seat at the Diversity Center, Jeremy also currently serves on the Advisory Board of Enrole, a recruiting focused app startup.
