Cyan Banister’s Summary

Are you a Python, PHP, or Ruby programmer? A kick-ass product manager? An executive or potential executive looking for a startup? Let's talk.

I'm a recruiter for several Bay Area startups. Prior to recruiting, I held a Senior Management position at IronPort Systems where I managed over 50 employees. My organizations included Customer Support Engineering, Strategic Support Operations, the Threat Operations Center, Bonded Sender Support & Operations (Now ReturnPath Sender Score Certified) and the Anti-Spam Operations Group. I have over 10 years of management experience ranging from retail to high-tech operations, and I excel at scaling operational infrastructure, hiring talented employees and championing a positive corporate culture.
