About Adrian
Commercial experience changes the conversation.
Wahoo was created by Adrian Wright after a career in sales and more than a decade building specialist recruitment relationships in technology markets.
That combination matters. It means the conversation with a senior salesperson is grounded in the commercial reality of the role: quota, pipeline, enterprise buying cycles, new business, performance and the reasons people actually move.
Clients work directly with Adrian throughout the search. The model is deliberately personal: fewer searches, closer attention and a clear sense of responsibility for the outcome.
