Meet the Founder
Owen Deng is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Shape Search. Before entering recruitment, he held senior roles in growth-stage companies, where he built teams, led cross-functional initiatives, and made hiring decisions that directly affected execution speed and business outcomes. That operator experience shapes his approach to search. Owen understands how founders evaluate risk, how growth-stage priorities shift under pressure, and how a single leadership hire can either unlock momentum or stall progress.
