Our proven search methodology is client focused and we utilize Performance Profiling, Experience

Abba Wireless Executive Search Group

Hampton, FL, United States Oct 2005 - Oct 2009

Managing Partner, Executive Recruiter

Leading a senior level team of recruiting consultants in bringing the Top 15% Talent- the "A" Players

- to clients in North America and Europe.

Abba Wireless uses a “PERFORMANCE BASED” search process specifically around our client's

needs. Our "performance based executive search" requires one quarter of the estimated fee upon

initiation of the search with the remainder due ONLY upon successful completion.

Our perspective is simple and straightforward. - We give individual attention and top priority to each

search until the search is successfully completed.

The Abba Wireless search team is widely recognized by our clients as an indispensable resource in

both executive search as well as key revenue driving or strategic hires that demand the same

prioritized attention that the retained search provides. In addition to “key searches”, we recognize

you may now or at some point be in a GROWTH MODE and there are other critical staffing needs

that require guaranteed results. In response to that need, Abba Wireless pioneered the "contract

search", allowing for a small initial investment from our clients while we SIMULTANEOUSLY

conduct MULTIPLE searches. This has proven invaluable to a number of high-growth organizations

that can't afford to hire B and C players.

The truth is the bottom line is no two companies are identical and neither are their staffing needs. At

Abba Wireless, we have created viable alternatives to traditional search that give our clients the

flexibility and guarantee of performance that they need. We consistently leverage our industry

knowledge, our extensive executive networks, and contacts with thousands in the mobile wireless

industry to the fullest extent possible.

Skills

retained search (Rockstar)

10+ Years Experience, (Last Used 10+ years ago)

When the position has a direct effect on the company's bottom line - whether that is by product design,

sales, or key level exe3cutive decision making, nothing can be left to chance. A dedicated retained

search that is performance driven to deliver the result of recruiting an "A" Player for a client is the best

way to go. There are large well-known retained search firms; but none of the "big boys" have the

domain expertise of the mobile wireless industry nor will they back up the performance of the

placement with the fee.

Sourcing (Rockstar)

10+ Years Experience, (Last Used 10+ years ago)

The best sourcing methods are still the ones that have to do with time spent in a niche industry,

relationships, and networking. I have amassed over 350k current names od thoswe working directly

and indirectly in the mobile wireless industry. I also excel with AIRS techniques and Google boolean

search techniques. And I never ever use job boards.

I began recruiting in the cellular industry just before the initial PCS "A" block auctions. I recruited for

Motorola, Ericsson, Nortel, and Nokia in infrastructure systems as well as AT&T and Sprint. With the C

and D block I reccruited for clients including Airtouch, Aerial, PrimeCo, Triton, NextWave, STPCS, and

more plus infrastructure startups like Silicon Wireless, AirNet, Symmetry, and many others. I have

recruited from CEO to CTO and VPs to Directors and Managers and Sr. Systems and RSMs - you

name it - in engineering, sales, product mgmt and marcom. Of special note is my knowledge in

recruiting experts in l note is IP Multimedia Systems (IMS) and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC); end-

to-end systems like GSM/UMTS, CDMA, Femtocell, OMA, WMAX, LTE); messaging, fraud

management, NFC, PoC, VoIP, etc.

Mobiile Content (Advanced)

3-4 Years Experience, (Last Used 3-4 years ago)

For the past 4 years, I have included retained and engagement based search in Mobile Content and

Smartphone Apps. I do not believe any recruiter could possibly consider themselves to be an expert in

this area as this part of the industry is relatively young and still has monumental growing pains. I have

fouced on software engineers, sales and marketing VPs, and VPs in engineering as well as CEO and

CTOs building Mobile Advertising (Search, LBS, PBS); Mobile Commerce (mPayments, retail, travel);

Mobile Content (SMS, MMS, MIM, education); Mobile Gaming (MMORPG, 3D, reality); Mobile Internet

(GeoWeb, micro-blogging); Mobile Media (music, IPTV, video, news & info); Mobile Social Networking

(lifestreaming, bots, communities); SmartPhone & Mobile Computing Apps (downloads, security).
