About Mercedes Dunn

I believe every person has a story—and the right opportunity can be the beginning of something transformational. Over the years, I’ve learned that my purpose is to help people turn the page—whether they’re stepping into something new or building something bigger than themselves.At Lions + Tigers, I connect people and teams across marketing, communications, events, operations, and data analytics—pairing individuals with work that energizes them and helping businesses grow with people who lead with clarity, care, and momentum.My approach is simple: listen closely, see the whole person, and lead with intention and honesty. I don’t just look at resumes —I pay attention to what lights people up and where they’ll thrive.The best part? Watching someone dive into work that matters—not just a job with the right title, but a role where they feel challenged, seen, and genuinely excited to show up. It’s never just about matching skills to a description—it’s about aligning purpose with possibility.If you\'re ready to explore what’s next, I’d love to help you take that step—with intention, and maybe a little joy, too.
