Where the rubber meets the road

The perfect blend of IT experts and legal minds.

Leadership team

Jim Delkousis

CEO & FOUNDER

Jim founded PERSUIT, in part, to encourage his children not to play it safe, and to follow their dreams. Monkey see, monkey do. He’s also a long time sufferer of imposter syndrome.

Travis Johnson

CTO and office barista

Travis is from Montana, but we don’t hold that against him. He is our tech wizard, but more importantly, our office clown and personal barista.

Sana Kamal

Product Designer

Sana prides herself in being curious and creative and constantly tries to find new problems to solve. When she’s not scheming for world domination she’s in the dojo practicing her choking skills (which we’re all just a little scared of)
👊

Jack Yumulu

Project Coordinator (Security & Compliance)

Jack has battle scars being relentless with customer service, project management, and process improvements. Within his first few months at PERSUIT he showed us that every organization needs a ‘Jack’ to help them grow up. When he’s not obsessing over what’s next for PERSUIT (which is rare), he is enjoying family time and loves horse riding.

Jess Burns

Talent Lead

After years delighting the tech community with her recruiting skills on the agency side, Jess decided to come in-house and has never looked back. When she is not scouring the world for PERSUIT’s next superstar she is at home with her 3 boys or training dogs.

David Falstein

Director, Client Strategy and Success

David comes from the legal sourcing world and loves creative pricing models. When he’s not helping clients build the perfect RFP or AFA, David is probably building a sub-par fantasy football team. 🤑🏉🤘

Rahul Ballal

Senior Software Engineer

Rahul is a digital nomad, having built software for companies across the globe. When he’s not coding, Rahul is doing what he loves – cooking up a storm in the kitchen and posting pictures on Instagram.
