Larnell Vickers, CEO
Larnell has dedicated his professional life to helping others reach their full potential.
After spending the first portion of his career with Teach for America, he transitioned into recruiting because of his belief that people in jobs they love create good in the world.
His time as Head of Talent Acquisition at The Future Project and Assistant Director of Recruitment at Democracy Prep Public Schools showed him how individual talent can help organizations thrive. Most importantly, it highlighted the difference between talent who were passed over and talent who were hired.
Despite these realizations, Larnell needed a larger vision to drive his career forward. That’s when he had his ah-ha moment: he would combine his experience in recruitment with his passion for coaching to help others land their dream job.
As of today, he has spent a decade connecting game-changing organizations to top talent, coaching C-suite executives and senior professionals, and feeling at home in a job he loves.
He hopes to make his experience a reality for organizations and candidates everywhere with LVE Talent.
