Summary
Gregg Carrier is a technology executive and retained recruiter with 15 years of client-facing experience and over two decades as a software engineer and operator. As President and General Manager of Ivy Talent he leverages his former CTO/COO background to place senior engineering and AI/ML talent who rarely surface on job boards, focusing searches for roles like LLM, Prompt, and Senior Backend Engineers. He has led engineering organizations from hands-on development to 150-person operations at companies including WillowTree, DreamWorks, and Sony, blending deep technical fluency (Scala, C++, cloud platforms) with people-first leadership. Gregg also runs GCM Energy, applying analytical and product instincts to commercial solar and energy strategy, signaling a pragmatic interest in sustainability and cost optimization. Known for skipping the volume game—turning hundreds of resumes into a handful of high-confidence interviews—he helps founders and boards hire transformative leaders quickly. Based in Charlottesville, VA, he pairs startup agility with enterprise-grade delivery and a habit of introducing new technologies and processes that stick.
