Stephanie Brooks

CEO & Founder

With over 15 years of experience in building and scaling high-performing teams, I’ve led the launch and growth of multiple offices across the U.S., including San Francisco, Phoenix, and New York. My background in executive search, business development, and talent strategy has shaped my deep understanding of what early-stage and scaling startups need to thrive.

After completing a Global Executive MBA at EDHEC Business School in France, I founded Rendez-Vous Partners to bridge the tech ecosystems of San Francisco and France—offering strategic growth and talent solutions to startups from stealth through Series C. Driven by a global perspective and a passion for supporting visionary founders, I’m committed to helping companies grow intentionally and sustainably.
