Don Kinney
Principal Executive Recruiter
About
Accomplished Talent Acquisition pro and Entrepreneur with over 20 years experience building and leading highly specialized organizations, both in corporate and start-up environments. I've achieved "trusted advisory” status with hundreds of business leaders--not only assisting them in their personal career decisions, but also in building out their teams.
I have balanced my career between building and managing high-impact talent organizations for divisions of some of the largest companies in the world (KPMG, Grainger, Deutche Telekom, Publicis Groupe and Amazon), as well as private executive search practices, including a top 10 Global Retained Search Firm in NYC.
However, if you ask me what is my most prized "Recruit" of my career, I won't speak of the many brilliant CEOs, CTOs, or Engineers with whom I've worked. Sorry folks! I'll tell you it was unequivocally when I cold-called and recruited Captain James Lovell (yes, that Capt. Lovell of Apollo 13 fame) for my favorite "customer", who just so happened to be my 9yr old son, to do a videotaped interview for his 4th grade science project: "The Effects of Extensive Space Travel on Muscle Atrophy". Go big or go home, right? When I told my Son that I got Captain Lovell to meet with him, he said, "Papa, there isn't a person on Earth (or beyond) that you can't recruit.". Not so sure about that, but being my Son's favorite recruiter, even for a day, is worth all of the fortune in the world (and beyond). :-)
Today, I'm a Principal Executive Recruiter at Uber, leading Executive Search for our Product and Applied Science orgs. If you're intrigued by creating products to reimagine the way the world moves for the better, we should chat.

We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now.
The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
