I’m a Bay Area transplant from Sydney, Australia, and throughout my career have had the privilege of working with global brands as they aggressively scale. Having experienced a start-up through acquisition, my appreciation and respect for founders changing the world runs deep. I believe the biggest differentiator between success and failure is people, and I’m thrilled to partner with GV's portfolio.
As GV’s Executive Talent Partner, Rhys leads executive talent initiatives, advising founders on organizational growth and scale and leveraging a global network.
Before GV, Rhys was Chief Talent Officer for the high-growth start-up Rubrik, where he helped build a world-class executive team and led talent management globally. This included talent acquisition, people development, and diversity, equity, and inclusion teams.
Previously, Rhys spent nine years at Adobe, where he ran recruiting teams. Rhys spent his earlier years successfully building one of Asia Pacific's leading recruiting brands through successful acquisition.
Rhys is a natural connector, deeply passionate about talent, leadership, and career development, and leveraging this to help build iconic companies.
