About McKenzie Muckerman
I build teams from scratch, clean up chaotic hiring processes, and bring clarity to what great talent actually looks like - without the guesswork. Over the last 10 years, I’ve scaled technical and GTM teams across high-growth startups, post-acquisition orgs, and rocketship-stage companies - usually during moments of “we needed someone yesterday.”Most recently, I’ve led technical recruiting at Ava Labs (the team behind the Avalanche blockchain) for product engineering, platform, and crypto custody teams - while also owning hiring for ecosystem partners building in Web3, DeFi, and Layer 1 protocols. Before that, I scaled Anaconda’s team by 136 hires in under two years, doubled the sales org, and consistently hit 160% of monthly hiring goals.My style? Structured, data-informed, and candidate-first - with just enough chaos-handling to thrive in early-stage, blockchain, and hyper-growth environments. I partner closely with C-level leadership, build clean sourcing engines, and design scalable hiring workflows that actually stick.Specialties: Web3, Crypto, Blockchain, FinTech, AI/ML, Developer Tools, DeFi, Layer 1s, and any startup where recruiting isn’t yet a real function (but probably should be)Tools: Greenhouse, Lever, Rippling Recruiting, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter, Monday, Notion
