Sam Warwick


Sam is a Senior Consultant operating within the North American market, while maintaining strong ties to his European network. He specialises in placing professionals at the intersection of machine learning and AI infra. His domain covers Data Science & Machine Learning, Infrastructure & Engineering, and Product.

With over six years’ experience in recruitment, Sam has a proven track record of identifying the right individuals to meet strategic goals, drive innovation, and add a fresh dynamic to established teams, all while respecting the parameters of each professional relationship. He works by the principle: we have two ears and one mouth for a reason; listening twice as much as we speak leads to better outcomes.

Fuelled by a lifelong devotion to football (yes, he supports Tottenham - please send thoughts and prayers) and a not-so-guilty obsession with Star Wars, Sam splits his time between the pitch and a galaxy far, far away (when he’s not immersed in the field of Geo, of course). Lest we forget, he’s powered by long runs and low heart rates; catch him in Zone 2, where the pace is chill, but the gains are real.

At DeepRec.ai, we’re more than recruiters; we’re strategic partners. As a certified B Corp, we’re committed to making a positive impact on people and the planet, with diversity and inclusion woven into every stage of the hiring journey.
