About
Meet Willena: The Talent Whisperer with Executive Edge.
She’s built for this—12+ years sourcing technical rockstars and top-tier execs for names like Meta, Roblox, and Amazon. From AI to AR/VR to infrastructure, Willena’s been the go-to for hiring the minds shaping the future.
She’s not just a recruiter—she’s a strategic weapon.
Willena doesn’t fill roles—she transforms teams. With deep expertise in recruitment marketing, employer branding, and sourcing tech (Boolean? Social? She’s fluent), she cuts time-to-fill and boosts diverse hires with precision. She’s the one execs call when they need results yesterday.
Certified in executive coaching, Willena isn’t just placing talent—she’s coaching leaders to show up bolder, communicate smarter, and grow stronger. She partners with senior teams to align talent strategies with business goals, all while building cultures that perform and belong.
And beyond the boardroom?
She’s a mic-drop speaker, a champion for inclusive leadership, and President of Blacks in Technology Tampa. She mentors with the Junior League of Tampa and shows up where impact is needed most.
Her vibe? Strategy + empathy. Vision + execution. Always on mission.
If you’re scaling a high-performing team, reimagining recruitment, or ready to own your leadership lane—Willena’s your call.
No fluff. Just real moves. Let’s go.
