ACQUISITION.
At MIRROR, xtranavy founder James Player operated inside the business through rapid growth and Lululemon's $500M acquisition — building the engineering team under the same pressures founders face today: scarce talent, competing offers and no room for hiring mistakes.
James is a true master of his craft – he is devoted to understanding a company’s mission and values, finding the right candidates that not only fit in with a company, but elevate it. He deeply cares about companies he works with and their success. Rather than simply placing candidates for a short-term referral fee, he is invested in the long term trajectory of the team. Without James, I can confidently say that MIRROR would not have had the outstanding outcome it did.
