About Sylvia Regalado

I launched Evolve1Talent to help organizations drive measurable growth through strategic executive and leadership hiring. As CEO and Founder, I partner closely with CEOs, founders, and investors to build high-performing, cohesive teams that directly impact revenue, operations, and scale. With more than 25 years of executive experience in the staffing industry, I bring a consultative, results-driven approach to executive search that supports companies through critical growth phases.While much of my work has been within healthcare, DME, diabetes, and medical device, my executive search work spans multiple industries and business models, supporting growth-stage, founder-led, and private equity–backed companies. I have partnered with organizations ranging from innovative startups to national platforms, including helping private equity groups scale portfolio companies efficiently and sustainably. In one engagement, a portfolio company grew from $250M to over $1B in valuation, with Evolve1Talent serving as the exclusive recruiting partner—building leadership and revenue teams that fueled operational execution and long-term value creation.Evolve1Talent supports clients nationwide across multiple disciplines, including:• Executive & Leadership Search (C-Suite, VP, Director)• Revenue & Go-To-Market Leadership (Business Development, Regional Sales, VP Sales, CSO)• Operations & Revenue Cycle Management• Finance & Accounting Leadership (CFO, FP & A, Controller)• Human Resources & People Leadership• Marketing & Growth Leadership• Technology & Product Leadership (Engineering, IT, Product, Data)• Operational Excellence & Scale• Private Equity & Growth-Stage HiringOur approach is strategic and results-oriented.
