Whitney Chiu

President

Whitney Chiu likes the problems that do not come with an obvious answer. As President of Reliant Talent Solutions, she brings an operator’s mindset to complex talent challenges, asking the questions that get beneath the immediate hiring need and closer to what the business actually needs to accomplish.

She is especially energized by the moment when “we’re not sure this is possible” becomes “we did it.” That mindset shapes how she leads Reliant: build strong teams, stay close to the work, and take responsibility for moving things forward. Whitney believes clients and candidates should feel the difference between working with a company that simply fills roles and one that is genuinely invested in the outcome.

Matt Morrissey

SVP, Business Development

After more than 30 years in talent acquisition and workforce strategy, Matt Morrissey has seen enough hiring cycles to know that the fastest answer is not always the right one. He works with high-growth organizations to understand what is driving the need, where the real risk sits, and what kind of talent will help the business move forward rather than simply fill an opening.

That perspective has made Matt a trusted partner to clients navigating growth, change, and high-stakes hiring decisions. At Reliant, he brings that same long-term view to client relationships, helping ensure the conversation stays focused not simply on making the hire, but on what success needs to look like long after the hire is made.

Ben Locwin

Vice President, Client Services

Ben Locwin has spent more than 25 years working in regulated environments at Top 10 Pharma companies and top CDMOs, including Biogen, and Lonza, where getting something ‘almost’ right is never good enough. His experience includes working closely with the FDA, MHRA, EMA, and other global regulatory agencies to navigate approval pathways for small- and large-molecule therapies as well as medical devices.

Through that experience, Ben has developed a clear point of view: progress depends on disciplined human judgment. Technology, systems, and processes can make organizations faster and more consistent, but they cannot replace the experience it takes to know when to question, when to escalate, and when a seemingly straightforward decision carries greater risk than it appears.

That perspective shapes the expertise Ben brings to Reliant clients. He deeply understands the work behind the job description, the regulatory pressure surrounding it, and the difference between someone who checks the boxes and someone who has the judgment to move critical work forward.

John Danielson

Director of Sales, Marketing and Delivery Systems

After more than a decade in staffing, John Danielson has learned that strong client service depends on what happens behind the scenes just as much as what happens in front of the client. He focuses on building the systems, processes, and operating structure that help recruiting and business development teams work more effectively together.

John is drawn to the kind of operational problems that create unnecessary friction: unclear handoffs, disconnected processes, and systems that make good people work harder than they should. John helps make sure Reliant’s promise to clients is supported by the systems behind it, giving teams the structure they need to collaborate effectively, move faster, and stay focused on delivering a strong client and candidate experience.

Dina Anderson

Director of Recruiting

Dina Anderson knows that a candidate can look right on paper and still be wrong for the opportunity. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, she brings a disciplined, people-first perspective to recruiting, with an approach built around understanding the person behind the resume, what they are looking for next, and whether the role gives them a real opportunity to succeed. 

She brings a proactive, thoughtful approach to identifying talent, but speed is only part of the equation. Dina pays close attention to long-term fit, candidate experience, and the factors that make a placement work for both sides. That judgment helps set the standard for recruiting at Reliant: looking beyond whether someone can do the job to understand whether the opportunity can work for both sides. It gives clients greater confidence in the people they bring onto their teams and candidates greater confidence in the opportunities Reliant puts in front of them.

Patrick Hickey

Sr. Business Development Manager

With more than 30 years of business development and sales experience, Patrick Hickey has learned that complex client challenges rarely have off-the-shelf answers. His work is centered largely in the medical device industry, where he helps clients bring together the right subject matter experts and build teams capable of solving highly specialized business needs.

Patrick is at his best when the situation is complicated. He has a knack for turning complexity into clarity, understanding what a client is really trying to accomplish, and connecting the right expertise to the problem. His approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in the realities of working in regulated environments. That experience strengthens Reliant’s ability to look beyond an immediate talent request, understand the larger business problem, and bring the right expertise together to solve it.

Outside of work, Patrick lives in Arizona with his wife and rescue dog and can often be found hiking the local mountains.

Christine Fero

Executive Recruiter

With more than 15 years of experience recruiting in the life sciences, Christine Fero knows that a resume only tells part of the story. It can show whether someone has done the work before, but not necessarily whether they can step into a highly regulated environment, understand what is at stake, and succeed within the realities of a specific organization.

Christine takes the time to understand what a client truly needs from the person stepping into the role, then looks beyond qualifications to evaluate whether the fit works for both sides. That perspective strengthens Reliant’s life sciences recruiting approach, where technical qualifications are only the starting point. Christine helps ensure the people Reliant introduces also have the judgment and understanding of regulated environments required to succeed in the work itself.

Tiffany Bradbury

Executive Recruiter

Tiffany Bradbury brings nearly 30 years of experience in military service, recruiting, and workforce operations, including 24 years in the U.S. Air Force in roles spanning logistics, technical recruiting, recruiting leadership, and accession policy. This foundation gives her a strong understanding of talent identification and the demands of high-stakes hiring.

Today, Tiffany brings that combination of recruiting discipline, operational experience, and people-first leadership to Reliant. She focuses on connecting clients with professionals who are not only qualified on paper but positioned to succeed long-term, while giving candidates the kind of thoughtful, respectful experience that has defined her approach throughout her career.

Raymond Noel

Executive Recruiter

RJ Noel has spent more than eight years recruiting for mission-critical environments where “close enough” talent can quickly become an operational problem. He specializes in data centers, hyperscale environments, and critical infrastructure projects, with experience supporting technical hiring across engineering, commissioning, MEP, and construction leadership.

RJ understands that technical qualifications only tell part of the story. He looks for the experience, judgment, and working style required to perform in uptime-driven environments where schedules are unforgiving and teams cannot afford unnecessary learning curves. RJ brings that technical understanding to Reliant’s critical infrastructure recruiting, helping the team evaluate candidates beyond the résumé and distinguish between someone who meets the requirements and someone who is genuinely ready for the realities of mission-critical work.

Derek Russell

Operations and Systems Leader

Put a complicated process in front of Derek Russell and he’ll start looking for the friction. Working across Operations, IT, Legal, HR, Sales, and Recruiting, Derek sees how decisions and systems affect the business from multiple angles - and where a small breakdown in one area can create bigger problems somewhere else.

He is especially good at turning ideas into practical systems that people can actually use. Whether the challenge is a disconnected workflow, an inefficient handoff, or a process that has become more complicated than it needs to be, Derek focuses on making the work simpler and easier to execute. At Reliant, that means building the operational foundation that helps teams move faster, reduce risk, and deliver a smoother experience for clients and candidates.

Chris Pelletier

Finance Manager

Chris Pelletier is a Finance and Accounting professional with over 26 years of experience helping organizations turn financial data into clear, actionable insight.

He joined Reliant in April 2026 and focuses on making finance easy to understand for non-finance leaders. His goal is to go beyond reporting results and help teams see what is driving performance and what may need attention next.

At Reliant, Chris brings that experience to the decisions behind the business, translating financial data into practical insight that helps leadership ask better questions, see risk and opportunity more clearly, and make more informed choices about what comes next.

Bianca Baker

Finance Manager

Bianca Baker brings more than 12 years of experience in accounting, with a career built around accuracy, consistency, and making sure the details hold up. She joined Reliant Talent Solutions in April 2025 and supports the day-to-day financial operations that help keep the business running smoothly.

Bianca is the kind of person who notices when something doesn’t reconcile and wants to understand why. She has a low tolerance for loose ends, a sharp eye for small discrepancies, and a process-driven approach to making sure the numbers tie and nothing slips through the cracks. She may not be the loudest voice in the room, but she takes pride in giving Reliant teams a financial foundation they can trust, so the details stay right and the people making decisions can do so with confidence.

Maurice Ford

Recruiter

Maurice Ford knows a job title only tells part of the story. With more than 8 years of recruiting experience across defense and aerospace, big technology, fire protection, and mission-critical infrastructure, he has learned to look beyond titles and keywords to understand what someone’s experience can actually translate into on the job. For Maurice, the question is simple: Can this person solve the problem?

That perspective is shaped in part by 7 years of service in the U.S. Navy, where preparation, accountability, and execution were part of the job every day. At Reliant, Maurice brings that same practical mindset to critical infrastructure recruiting, helping identify transferable skills others may overlook while maintaining the technical and performance standards the work demands. His approach helps clients reach deeper talent pools without compromising on the reliability, judgment, and readiness required in mission-critical environments.
