Alison Kaizer

Global Recruitment Leader + Startup Advisor // Head of Talent at Golden Ventures

Hey there ! My name is Ali, and I’m incredibly proud the be the Head of Talent at Golden Ventures supporting the portfolio companies on their paths to Talent success! Prior to this, I led Talent at Lunchbox, one of the fastest growing food tech startups in the industry. Lunchbox is focused on providing next-gen digital ordering that helps restaurants drive better guest engagement and stronger sales. I grew this team from ~50 to ~250 across all functions. I also led Talent Acquisition at Ritual.co as we expanded across the globe to 400+. Ritual is a tech company that makes a smartphone app which provides instant access to a complete assortment of everyday coffee and food items from local spots - at the push of a button. Ritual has grown to 50+ cities across North America, Europe, Hong Kong and Australia, and raised over $120 million in venture funding. I began my foray into Talent as an Engagement Manager at Boost Agents, a recruitment firm servicing the Digital, Marketing, Creative and Communications industries. I was recognized for my ability to develop strong, lasting candidate relationships and to "career matchmake” - finding the right fit for both client and candidate - for companies from start-ups to major agencies.
