Pod 1 is mid-ramp. Six roles filled, three actively recruiting (Creators / Affiliate Manager, Growth Marketer, Project Manager). Leadership is the two founding partners.
Specialists across Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, India, and the United States.
Pod members report to a US-side Pod Lead, who reports up to Van.
Pod 1 finishes hiring and stabilizes its playbook. Pod 2 begins ramp with leads recruited first.
Pod 1 final 4 seats plus the first wave of Pod 2 — heaviest recruiting quarter of the year.
Still the two founding partners. First Delivery Leads onboard in Q4 alongside Pods 5–6.
Four pods active. Pod 1 has stabilized into the reference playbook; Pods 3–4 ramp in parallel using it.
Still two partners running delivery directly. Delivery Lead hires kick off this quarter to be ready for Q4.
Two pod ramps simultaneously — recruiting is the operational priority.
Six pods active. Pod 1 has become the reference playbook other pods clone from. Q3 milestone: 4 pods live before doubling to 6 in Q4.
One per pod cluster. Frees the partners from day-to-day delivery oversight and gives each pod a single point of escalation.
Recruiting cadence accelerating — talent becomes the bottleneck on scale.
Ten pods active across three practice clusters. CMG is a real services org, not a founder-run team.
Each Delivery Lead owns three to four pods — the unit of management is the cluster, not the individual pod.
Dedicated Talent Recruiter unblocks pod scaling. Hiring is continuous, not project-based.
