“If there’s one person I could look back on…who made the biggest difference in my career it was Ken Leiner. None had more effect on my career and my income than Ken Leiner did.”
– Charlie Rizzo, Ret., Federal Systems Integrator Sales Director
(KLA company client & candidate for 20+ years)
Ken Leiner began recruiting for technology vendors in 1987 and founded Ken Leiner Associates (KLA) in 1990. Originally a “one-man band,” Ken teamed up with Frank Munero in 1991 and Stuart Neuwelt in 1992. This dynamic team grew the company throughout the 90s into one of the premier search firms focused on helping technology vendors build their sales, marketing and technical teams. Ken’s philosophy of recruiting and qualifying the best candidates for KLA’s clients includes taking a personal consultative approach with his clients while also looking out for the candidates’ best interests, and this has contributed to the strong reputation KLA has in the industry. Ken is as passionate as ever about recruiting and gets excited by the day-to-day challenges of closing placements, mentoring his team, and coaching candidates and clients in the technology industry.
When not at work, Ken enjoys spending time with his wife Sandra, daughter Corrina, and his son Matt. His other interests include volleyball, Dominican bachata, Montreal and Latin America.
