Jon Jelinek

Jon Jelinek helps companies hire the leaders who drive revenue, build strong teams, and scale organizations. As the founder of HiPo Talent Partners, he specializes in executive and leadership search for growth-oriented companies, focusing on senior commercial and operational leaders — including Chief Revenue Officers, VP Sales, Chief Marketing Officers, VP Marketing, Chief Human Resources Officers, Heads of People, and other critical roles that directly impact performance and scalability.

He works with founder-led, private equity-backed, and growth-stage organizations that need experienced leadership to accelerate growth, strengthen go-to-market execution, and build high-performing teams. What differentiates Jon's approach is his background as a former President and SVP of Sales & Marketing. Having built teams and carried direct responsibility for revenue and organizational performance, he understands how leadership decisions affect execution, culture, and results — and assesses talent based on real business impact, not just experience on paper.

Jon's areas of focus include executive and leadership search for CRO, VP Sales, CMO, VP Marketing, CHRO, and Head of People roles; leadership recruiting for private equity portfolio companies and growth-stage organizations; and go-to-market leadership hiring and talent strategy advisory. His work is grounded in long-term fit, trust, transparency, and lasting partnership.
