A Talent Leader Who Builds From the Inside Out

Meghan Akers (Langill) is the Founder of Meghan Clare Executive Search, where she partners directly with founders and executive teams to build the leadership and talent infrastructure required for scale.

Over the past 15+ years, Meghan has helped venture backed technology companies navigate critical growth stages from early traction through global expansion. As Senior Director of Recruiting at Imply, she served as the company’s first global Talent leader and scaled the organization from roughly 110 to more than 260 employees, delivering over 340 hires across the United States and international markets.

Meghan builds recruiting functions the same way founders build companies: with clarity, discipline, and measurable outcomes. She has constructed talent teams from scratch, implemented executive level hiring dashboards, eliminated one million dollars in annual agency spend, increased diverse representation by 25 percent, and created structured interview systems that raise talent density without slowing growth.

Founders value Meghan for her ability to operate at both altitude and ground level. She can design the hiring strategy tied to business milestones while personally closing mission critical roles across Product, Engineering, and GTM. She believes recruiting is not a support function. It is a strategic lever that determines whether a company compounds or plateaus.

Through Meghan Clare Executive Search, she works selectively with founders who care deeply about quality, culture, and long term performance, helping them build teams strong enough to carry the next chapter of growth.
