Bio
As affix’s GM of Product and Engineering, Brett brings 15 years of expertise in Go-to-Market, Technology, and Leadership recruitment. His focus spans the entire spectrum — starting in Sales, Marketing, Growth, Product, Data and Customer Success; now with a sharper focus on Technology.
Brett joined affix as part of the founding crew and has since built his reputation as a standout advisor in the industry. He works exclusively with Product and Technology-led businesses ranging from pre-revenue startups to post-Series B companies (including post-IPO), recruiting talent from individual contributors to C-Level.
What sets Brett apart is his ability to cultivate meaningful relationships throughout the industry, enabling him to partner with founders, business leaders, and functional leaders. He believes that clear communication, empathy, honesty and managing expectations are essential to creating great experiences and outcomes.
Brett doesn’t just find the right talent—he offers valuable strategic advice and insights to ensure his clients’ long-term success. Nurturing lasting connections and delivering results has made him a genuine partner for businesses navigating critical growth phases.
Outside of work, Brett enjoys spending time with his family, exploring coastal destinations, getting on a set of skis in the winter and visiting the odd winery, or two.
Not only did affix go out of their way to understand our engineering and company culture – they became a part of it.
It’s hard to imagine us reaching the growth and diversity outcomes that we did without affix’s willingness and ability to be agile, creative, and to learn with us along the way.

affix will find you the right person. We chose to partner with them due to their specialisation in the digital space. Their services came highly recommended.
affix made me feel listened to. They respected my time and understood my desire to find the right culture fit; which can be hard to do, on top of the specialised skills we’re seeking.
Richenda Vermeulen
Ntergrity, Founder + CEO
Working with affix has been a great experience! They truly got to know our company and culture, and took the time to really understand the requirements, resulting in a great pipeline of talent.
I would recommend affix because, more than any other agency I’ve worked with, they genuinely feel like part of your team.
Bee Hepburn
Roller, Chief People Officer
If you’re considering working with affix, do it. We’re not a tech business, so we would not have been able to attract top talent in this field without affix’s help.
affix really wanted to understand our team culture, which gave me confidence they would help us to find a great fit. They helped shape and define the new role, and came to the table with loads of ideas and suggestions!
Elizabeth Howells
The Commons, COO
We’ve worked with affix for more than 7 years, and it now feels like we are all family. affix recruited talent across our whole tech team and they are performing brilliantly!
affix have never let us down. They’ve always found us great people and their startup-friendly cost structure has allowed us to concentrate on running our business, ultimately helping Fillr to flourish.
Chad Stephens
Fillr, Co-Founder
I would definitely work with affix again.
They appointed me and helped us recruit critical leaders within our business.
Blake Hutchison
Flippa, CEO
affix have always felt like an extension of our own business and have always provided great results. They really get to know your business and people needs.
When you team up with affix, you get a strong partnership connecting you to talent that’s a great cultural and technical fit. This leads to better results when building teams.
