Jackie Koch

Hey, Iโ€™m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.ย  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although Iโ€™d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. Iโ€™m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
