Do any of these sound familiar?
- You just closed a round and need to install your first VP Engineering in 60 days.
- Engineering grew from 8 to 25 and your first management layer needs to be real, not improvised.
- You need a Staff/Principal to span squads while your Head is heads-down on hiring.
- You want to install applied AI capability — Head of AI, ML Lead — without falling into the trap of a generic recruiter who doesn't understand the state of the art.
Multidimensional assessment — not a resume chat.
For Engineering leadership, the VPA method weighs especially technical Knowledge, applied AI fluency in the role, and CQ (cultural fit with Seed–Series B operating reality).
