Principal, Growth by Design Talent
Katie Wagner is a Principal on the advisory team at GBD, where she partners with clients to revamp their recruiting engines and build systems that scale. She’s spent her career stepping into moments of chaos and turning them into structure: most recently as Head of Talent at Tarro, where she built the company’s recruiting infrastructure from scratch, and previously at DoorDash, where she scaled a 50-person TA org, hired 5,000+ people, and launched new global markets during hyper-growth. She’s based in Philly, where you’ll usually find her reading, writing for her Substack, or chasing her two kids (ages 4 and 2) around with her husband.
