A technology executive with over 40 years of experience growing and scaling high tech companies, Lehman will provide guidance to Talent Rover's leadership team as they continue to expand international operations and serve the world's most influential recruitment firms.   

A private investor and current board member at MGIC, Solera Holdings, MapR and the University of Wisconsin Foundation, Lehman joins Talent Rover with extensive experience as a chief financial officer for high tech companies.
