Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolIris Desire is a founder and seasoned software leader with eight years of experience building high-velocity engineering teams and scalable products across startups and enterprise organizations. She blends hands-on engineering and management—standing up multiple new teams at Workday and Mailchimp and leading reporting and audience platforms that serve millions of users—with entrepreneurial drive from founding ventures in recruiting, Web3 community building, and content. Her current company, Essenti, disrupts traditional recruiting via a subscription model that combines AI, automation, and offshore talent to deliver fast, cost-effective sourcing and fractional recruiting. Iris has a track record of translating operational pain points into repeatable systems—whether improving observability for high-throughput reporting services or creating a talent “engine” that augments internal HR capacity. She brings cross-functional fluency from product, hiring, and customer-facing roles and a teaching background that informs her emphasis on processes, mentorship, and durable team culture. Based in Atlanta, she pairs technical depth (Dev Bootcamp/Web Development) with a humanities perspective from Pomona College, making her pragmatic about both data and people.
