Brian Fink

I serve as a Strategic Advisor to Pin.com, a B2B SaaS company leading the next wave of AI-enabled recruiting. In this role, I work closely with the leadership team on talent strategy and organizational design, go-to-market positioning and business development, and product direction, helping translate early-stage vision into scalable execution. My focus is on the decisions that compound: who you hire, how you position in the market, and where the product needs to go next. It's the kind of work I find most meaningful, helping founders move faster and smarter by bringing an outside perspective to the problems that are hardest to see from the inside.
