Austin Caldwell
Talent Partner in San Francisco, California
A graduate in International Business from The George Washington University School of Business in Washington, D.C., I'm a thinker and creator passionate about people, technology, product, and fitness that can transform the lives of others. I believe that empathy is a superpower of mine, and I always try to bring data to the conversation. I'm a recruiter by trade and people person at heart.
Currently, I'm building out our software engineering teams at EvenUp. Prior to this, I've helped scale both Modern Health & Juniper Square more than 2x in 12 months and worked at Stripe, Microsoft, General Assembly, and Uber.
Outside of my "day job," I'm passionate about creating dialogue surrounding diversity & inclusion. I was one of the founding members of Juniper Square's LGBTQ+ ERG, and I co-led Microsoft's first-ever presence in Chicago's Pride Parade in 2018. I'm a big believer in making space for those around me, and I believe a rising tide should lift all ships.
"The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom."
-Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
