From Stealth to IPO in the

NVIDIA Ecosystem

We are the first boots on the ground inside the businesses building AI infrastructure on NVIDIA — designing the organisation, embedding the talent function and staying with them through every phase of growth.

From Stealth to IPO in the

NVIDIA Ecosystem

We are the first boots on the ground inside the businesses building AI infrastructure on NVIDIA — designing the organisation, embedding the talent function and staying with them through every phase of growth.

One Ecosystem.
Unique Approach.

We combine the strategic advisory of a consultancy, the embedded operational scale of an RPO, and the precision talent delivery of specialist Search.
Operating inside the businesses building AI infrastructure on NVIDIA, we help design organisations, embed talent capability, and deliver the critical people needed to scale from stealth to hyperscale growth.

NeoClouds & NVIDIA Cloud Partners

Org design and embedded hiring for the GPU cloud operators building on NVIDIA, from first cluster to global scale.

Sovereign AI & AI Factories

Designing and staffing the national-scale compute programmes and AI factory builds across EMEA.

Frontier Labs & AI-Native Businesses

Embedded talent for the model builders and AI-native companies consuming GPU at scale, from stealth through public markets.

Four Phases. One Partner.

We are the only talent partner that operates across the full lifecycle of an NVIDIA ecosystem business. From stealth, when there is no team and no public footprint, to IPO, when the organisation is operating at full scale. First in, last out.

01 — Stealth

We engage before the business exists publicly. Founding team design, first hires, sequencing of leadership and operating structure. This is where we have done the most defining work in the ecosystem.

02 — Build

Org design moves into execution. We embed as the talent function, hiring the infrastructure, platform and commercial teams that turn capital and GPU allocation into a working business.

03 — Scale

Multi-country, multi-discipline hiring against funding milestones and operational deadlines. We deliver across infrastructure, product, commercial and leadership at pace.

04 — IPO

The organisation is operating at full scale. We continue to support executive hiring, succession and the senior bench that public-market readiness demands.

First Boots on the Ground

Most RPOs arrive after Series A with a process. We arrive at stealth with a network.

Our embedded TAs are trained in-house by the WNTD NVIDIA team. They are not generalist recruiters learning a new sector on the job. They know the ecosystem before day one — the architecture, the partner model, the operating environment and the talent map.

Trained Inside the Ecosystem

Every embedded TA is trained by our NVIDIA team. They arrive operational, not learning.

Passive Talent, Trusted Networks

We do not run job-board campaigns. We headhunt passive talent through networks built over a decade inside this ecosystem.

Built for Niche Markets

The talent pool is narrow and the wrong hire is expensive. Our model is designed for precision, not volume.

Our Expertise.

Our Network.

WNTD RPO Leadership Team

Blaine Daws
Blaine Daws Solutions Director

Since 2016, I’ve worked closely across the NVIDIA ecosystem, supporting AI infrastructure platforms, neo cloud providers and hyperscale compute operators ahead of the wider market acceleration we see today.

In 2020, I co founded WNTD, a specialist advisory and infrastructure partner focused exclusively on AI infrastructure and the NVIDIA ecosystem. We work with founders, investors and leadership teams building sovereign AI platforms, AI factories and next generation compute infrastructure across EMEA.

My work sits at the intersection of infrastructure, talent, operations and scale helping organisations navigate the complexity of building and operating industrial scale AI environments.

Today, my focus is on helping AI infrastructure businesses scale faster through the right operating structures, strategic partnerships and specialist teams required to support long term growth.

I work at the intersection of Data Centre and AI technology, helping organisations attract, engage, and secure the talent that drives innovation and growth. My focus is on building scalable candidate attraction strategies that connect businesses with the specialist professionals needed to design, scale, and optimise the infrastructure behind next-generation digital and AI workloads.

My approach goes beyond recruitment delivery; it’s centred on understanding what attracts top talent and how organisations can position themselves as employers of choice. By combining deep market knowledge with insight into emerging technologies and industry trends, I create hiring strategies that improve candidate engagement, accelerate hiring outcomes, and build long term talent communities that support sustainable growth.
