We built TRAKD with one mission in mind... Build it around PEOPLE.
JT brings over 15 years experience in technology recruitment, having graduated in Biomedical Science from the University of Southampton. His commitment to the industry is driven by a genuine passion for building long-term relationships and a rare ability to earn trust through deep organisational insight.
For JT, headhunting isn’t a transaction, it’s a craft. It’s built on rigorous research, a clear understanding of individual purpose, and an intimate knowledge of the market. His career highlights include helping to build the founding teams at Shazam and Deliveroo.
Paris brings over 9 years of experience scaling high-performing engineering teams across early-stage startups and global brands including Klarna and Eurostar. He has earned 70+ recommendations from product-focused engineers and clients, reflecting a trusted, long-term approach to recruitment.
Paris believes the most effective hiring starts with understanding the business outcome behind the role, not just the skills on a CV. By focusing on the value a team is being built to deliver, and leveraging a network that goes far beyond keywords on a CV, he helps clients scale with intention and impact.
Career highlights include supporting Eurostar in increasing diversity within its technology teams by 115%.

What does DE&I mean to us
We value diversity because technology shapes everyone’s lives, and it should be built by people who reflect that reality.
Having spent their careers in an industry often shaped by unconscious bias, Paris and JT founded TRAKD to challenge the status quo and reset the rulebook. They believe opportunity should never be defined by background, education, wealth, race, or gender — because success has no single profile.
That belief starts at home. As partners to successful career women, Paris and JT are committed to building a business that supports equality in practice, which is why TRAKD offers enhanced maternity and paternity leave from day one.
Diversity brings broader perspectives and fewer blind spots to any industry. We are here to help this growth & mindset.
