Acme Talent Adds Industry Veteran John Allan as Partner

LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Acme Talent, a talent solutions provider leveraged by venture- and PE-backed technology companies, announced today that veteran headhunter John Allan has joined as Partner.

"Huge win for us," said Tom Nieman, Managing Partner. "John's style, judgment, and experience closing over a hundred searches for tech founders, entrepreneurs, and investors - not to mention his network of elite operating talent - better equip us to help our clients," he continued.

Allan previously spent almost twenty years in the executive search industry at Kindred Partners, where he led their B2B SaaS, DeepTech, Consumer, and early AI work, recruiting leadership teams for several companies that went on to $1B exits or IPOs. He also co-founded and scaled the company's operations in Silicon Valley.

"The fit at Acme was pretty obvious from the get-go," said Allan. "I love partnering with investors and Founders to build breakthrough portfolio companies, and the team here has been doing just that for a long time."

Allan's own experience as an entrepreneur further informs his approach to assembling leadership teams that win. He most recently served as Co-Founder & COO of an AI security company where he helped develop a proprietary AI model used for identity verification.

"We're fortunate to have John join us. Pattern recognition is a critical ingredient in our line of work, and there isn't a scenario he hasn't seen or worked through before - and his domain expertise around AI puts us all ahead of the curve," said Acme Co-Founder Josh Ueberroth.

With a presence on both coasts, Acme Talent recruits world-class leaders for venture and PE sponsors and their portfolio companies nationwide. With three distinct service offerings, Acme supports investors from pre-investment deal pursuit through accelerating post-investment value creation. Driving this is a team with six decades of collective experience executing retained executive searches for private technology companies.
