Behind talents lab

I'm Savvina Drougouti, a headhunter who helps founders and hiring leaders make the right hiring decisions when it matters most.

 

I work with startups and scaleups in crypto, blockchain, AI, and fintech that can't afford bad hires, long hiring cycles, or mismatched candidates.

 

talents lab is the execution layer behind my work. A focused recruitment partner built around quality, discretion, and long-term alignment.

 

If you're hiring for a role that's business-critical, ambiguous, or hard to replace, this is where I can help.
