JC Christian brings a rare combination of technical operating experience, founder perspective, and executive search expertise to Christian & Timbers. His work focuses on helping companies identify and recruit senior leaders across AI, enterprise technology, cybersecurity, data infrastructure, developer tooling, foundation models, and vertical AI applications.

JC began his career as a software engineer at Amazon Web Services and Uber, where he worked on automation, no-code tools, and freight operations technology. That background gives him a practical understanding of how technical organizations are built, how engineering teams operate, and what separates strong technical leaders from purely credentialed candidates.

He later founded two venture-backed startups, gaining firsthand experience in company building, product development, fundraising, go-to-market strategy, and the leadership demands of scaling in competitive markets. This founder experience shapes the way he evaluates executive talent, especially for companies hiring leaders who need to operate with speed, judgment, and technical fluency.

At Christian & Timbers, AI executive recruiting firm, JC works closely with high-growth companies, venture-backed startups, enterprise technology organizations, and investors on executive searches across AI and emerging technology markets. His search work is informed by a deep understanding of the AI ecosystem, from foundational models and infrastructure to applied AI, cybersecurity, and vertical software.

JC helps clients define the leadership profile they need, understand the competitive talent landscape, and identify executives who can move the business forward. His perspective is especially valuable for companies hiring AI-native leaders, technical operators, product executives, engineering leaders, and go-to-market executives who understand both innovation and commercial execution.

Outside of Christian & Timbers, JC is an active angel investor, follows financial markets closely, and enjoys reading philosophy. His combination of engineering experience, founder judgment, and market intelligence gives Christian & Timbers clients a sharper lens on the leaders shaping the future of AI and enterprise technology.
