I’m the Co-Founder of JL Klein, where we help top investment firms, private equity funds, and financial institutions build exceptional legal, compliance, and operational teams. JL Klein is a boutique search firm with national reach—valued for our highly personalized service and ability to surface talent others miss. Our clients include multi-billion-dollar asset managers, AM Law 100 firms, and fast-growing startups. We approach every search as a true partnership, with a focus on roles that require trust, discretion, and deep subject-matter knowledge—whether it’s a Chief Compliance Officer at a $10B fund or a General Counsel at a PE-backed portfolio company. I was born and raised in Westchester, New York, and now live in Miami after graduating the University of Miami Business School. I co-founded JL Klein with my longtime friend and college roommate, Jason Latin, with the goal of building a search firm grounded in relationships, results, and high service. We recently launched TempNest — the contract staffing and temp services arm of JL Klein — built to deliver flexible, high-quality support for clients who need interim talent fast. From sourcing to onboarding, we handle every aspect of the process: recruiting, payroll, insurance, and day-to-day support. If you're hiring—or thinking about your next career move—feel free to reach out or connect. Always happy to be a resource

I served as an executive recruiter on the compliance team, specializing in sourcing and placing top-tier talent for legal and compliance roles within leading hedge funds, venture capital firms, and private equity institutions. My expertise ensures that these premier financial entities are equipped with the best professionals to navigate complex regulatory landscapes.
