OUR PEOPLE
Angel Cruzado is the visionary founder of Respiris, a company dedicated to redefining outplacement assistance and career transition services. A self-made leader, Angel's journey is one of determination and resilience. His academic pursuits began with a bold step, taking the SATs as a walk-on, and continued as he self-funded his way through both undergraduate and graduate education, earning degrees in Management and Human Resources.
Angel's professional path is as diverse as it is impressive. He has navigated through the dynamic worlds of game tech, software, medical devices, and education tech, accruing a wealth of experience in leadership, people operations, and strategic development. His versatility as an HR professional is evident in his track record: implementing advanced tech stacks, coaching C-suite leaders and career professionals, recruiting thousands of employees, steering successful acquisitions and integrations, and crafting high-performing people programs that nurture engaged workplace cultures.
Recognized as a trusted advisor, Angel has been a pivotal partner to Boards of Directors, Compensation Committees, CEOs, and Executive teams, significantly contributing to the success and growth of various organizations. His expertise is not just in elevating companies but also in empowering individuals to reach their full potential.
Beyond his professional achievements, Angel is a devoted father, embracing the joys of parenthood with the same passion he brings to his work. He finds balance in life through staycations, frequent trips to Boston, and the simple pleasures of family time in Studio City, Los Angeles. His personal commitment to helping others extends to his role as a job search coach, where he derives immense satisfaction from guiding individuals through the often-daunting career transition process.
Angel's approach is hands-on and heartfelt. He's not just about crafting winning resumes or optimizing LinkedIn profiles; he's about connecting with each individual, understanding their story, and helping them find their 'prayer' in their professional lives. His dedication to his client's success is matched only by his commitment to his family and his community.
