Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Sheldon is a director-level executive recruiter with 11 years of experience building leadership teams for high-stakes engineering organizations, currently leading Rivian’s executive search efforts across software, vehicle, manufacturing and go-to-market. He cut his teeth sourcing for Tesla’s most mission-critical programs—Autopilot, Gigafactories, and vehicle engineering—bringing a battlefield mindset to talent intelligence and leader benchmarking. Known for combining industrial/organizational psychology with hands-on competitive research, he treats sourcing as investigative work rather than keyword matching. Anthony also has a technical bent, having contributed bug fixes and compiler-level improvements to the PureScript codebase, which reflects comfort engaging with complex engineering concepts. Based in San Diego, he scales teams that tackle technically and operationally difficult problems and prefers the roles others call impossible.
