Angelo Argentieri

Angelo is co-founder of RaiseSmarter and CEO of AKA Search Group, where he recruits C- and senior-level executives across the real estate and investment management sectors. Right out of college, Angelo worked his way up to Managing Director of Executive Search for one of New York’s leading executive search firms. Prior to his role as CEO of AKA Search Group, Angelo was an executive with Virginia’s largest and privately held real estate investment firm.

His executive search specialties are C Suite positions (COO, CMO, CSO, CTO), as well as Vice President and Director level positions. Angelo knows finding people is easy, but finding the right people is not. Being a networker of people for C Suite, VP, and Director level positions is where Angelo excels.

Aside from executive recruiting, Angelo consults for real estate and capital raising focused companies to improve their sales strategy and sales conversion related processes. He is an avid trail ultrarunner competing in international races such as UTMB, Burning River 100, Canyons Endurance 100K, and more…
