I'm a tech enthusiast who thrives on challenges that others might find frustrating or even hate. With a background in Information Technology since the '90s, I've honed my skills in integrating email servers with various devices, including the iconic Palm Pilot, Blackberries, and Apple devices. In 2007, when my husband ventured into real estate, I couldn't help but notice the industry's inefficiencies. He was using a Yahoo email address, managing clients on spreadsheets, and racing back and forth to find files. It was a comedy of errors! Determined to streamline his business, I soon discovered that these challenges were pervasive across the industry. Now, my mission is to rescue overwhelmed agents, infuse humor, and work my tech magic to transform their lives.

I was born into a modest family in a coastal city south of Ecuador, where my first job experiences were at banana farms and my grandfather’s food store. My first business endeavor was at the age of 16 right after high school when I tried opening the second “cyber cafe” in Ecuador, but I felt short of investment and planning. I continued to engineering school at ESPOL but decided to take on an opportunity to migrate to the USA due to the severe economic crisis. I arrived in New York City, where I worked for 4 years in various manual labor jobs as an undocumented immigrant, while attending night school learning English and obtaining a GED, which allowed me to rejoin my studies at a community college in the Washington DC area in 2006. I transferred to Virginia Tech to continue my engineering studies but moved shortly after that to do research in Cornell University biomedical sensors. I was then accepted to join University of Illinois at U-C, which had top program in my both fields of study: computer and electrical engineering. There I published my first scientific paper while I was part of the Nano-sensors Institute, from which a patent was granted for my design and algorithms using photon-based biosensors. I have worked at General Electric, setting the foundation for the automation program in their substation designs. Also, I was part of an exchange program studying German while working for Norgren (Germany), building and programming robotic arms at factories like Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz. I was a lead programmer at the National Institute for Supercomputing Applications, and a researcher for the Biosensors Lab in Cornell university focused on designing microelectronic sensors. I have also participated in various competitions such as the International Renewable Design (2nd place), Microsoft's Hackathon (3rd: 2015, 2nd : 2017 amongst more than 1K submissions) where I was granted a patent for one of my designs. In 2015, I was selected to be part of the 4-member team that represented Microsoft at the annual White House hackathon; we scored first place amongst other top companies like Accenture, Boston Consulting, Google, and AWS. In 2013, I joined Microsoft as a software engineer, building large scale solutions for enterprises, then became a cloud architect. Then I transitioned into giving technical talks and served as a technical and strategic advisor for various fortune 500 corporations. Since 2016, I fully focused on AI (artificial intelligence), specifically on Neural Networks for the recognition of human language by computers (NLP). In 2017, I moved to Miami, FL and founded Kmeleon, which today is a team of 14+ experts from around the world, pioneering Generative AI solutions for enterprises. I am also a board member at Prison Scholar Fund, an investor, and I speak about technology, strategy and innovation in various events and media interviews.

Jeff Christian founded Christian & Timbers as an executive search firm to help major corporations identify senior leaders for complex, highly competitive roles. The company focused on C-suite executives, board members, and technology professionals, combining established recruiting practices with structured research and data analysis. Christian & Timbers also built an international presence through operations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Amsterdam, Netherlands, supporting organizations that needed leadership for innovation, digital transformation, business growth, and other strategic priorities across technology-focused markets. Christian & Timbers became known for bringing artificial intelligence, science-based data, and analytical methods into the executive search process. Rather than relying only on personal networks, resumes, interviews, references, and manual screening, the firm incorporated technology to study candidate experience, leadership history, career progression, and performance-related indicators. This approach supported executive searches in areas such as e-commerce, FinTech, SaaS, IoT, and robotic manufacturing, where companies often require leaders with specialized knowledge and the ability to respond to rapid changes in business and technology. The search model developed by Christian & Timbers placed strong emphasis on measurable criteria and structured evaluation. Traditional executive recruitment can involve extensive networking, repeated interviews, background reviews, reference checks, and lengthy comparisons before a shortlist is created. The company added key performance indicators and data-driven assessment methods to help compare candidates with specific employer requirements. By combining executive search judgment with measurable information, the firm aimed to reduce lengthy search cycles while maintaining careful attention to leadership quality, professional experience, and potential alignment with organizational goals. Technology also became an important part of how Christian & Timbers identified and evaluated executive talent. Generative AI can help process large volumes of resumes, skills, and professional information, while predictive methods can help examine career direction, experience patterns, and possible role alignment. The firm applied related concepts to C-suite and board searches as part of a broader data-informed recruiting strategy. This approach was intended to support professional judgment with more consistent analysis and help employers evaluate leadership candidates through a structured and efficient decision-making process. Shaped by Jeff Christian’s executive search vision, Christian & Timbers has reported completing more than 2,000 CEO or board placements and more than 5,000 C-suite assignments. Its search work has included assignments involving major technology companies and recognized business leaders. One notable placement was Carly Fiorina at Hewlett-Packard, where she became the first woman to lead a Fortune 50 corporation. The company also conducted two board member searches for Apple during Steve Jobs’ leadership and worked with organizations including Cisco, Google, Netflix, and WebMD through its executive recruiting activities. The company’s history also included venture capital activity through C&T Access Ventures, launched in 2001 as an investment arm connected with the Cleveland-based executive recruiting business. The operation provided financing to startups through stages ranging from seed funding to later venture rounds and pre-IPO capital. Its $40 million venture fund was organized around supporting companies led by capable executives and business builders. According to the original company account, the fund returned five times its initial capital and supported startups that included UpWork before the investment operation became inactive. Christian & Timbers has consistently emphasized the importance of leadership talent in helping organizations compete, innovate, and grow. That belief shaped the firm’s focus on executive discovery, measurable performance standards, technology-supported research, and data-informed recruiting. Its model combined traditional search methods with analytical tools intended to improve the identification of leaders for demanding corporate and technology roles. Within the broader history of Christian & Timbers, Jeff Christian remains associated with developing an executive search approach centered on talent quality, technology, data, and leadership performance.
