August Mao

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL RECRUITER, A28 SOLUTIONS

Our founder, August Mao, launched Argus Academy in 2020 to help ambitious professionals land their dream jobs by teaching them how to network strategically and authentically. Over the years, he has coached job seekers across industries—many of whom have gone on to secure roles at top tech firms, consulting companies, and government agencies.

That same mindset—identifying and cultivating exceptional talent—now drives A28 Solutions, where we connect mission-driven organizations with professionals who are not only qualified but poised to make an immediate impact. - This foundation is more than a coincidence—it’s our edge. - August brings a career shaped by impact across consulting, technology, and government.

Supporting A28 Solutions is a distinguished board of advisors drawn from the highest levels of tech, government, and consulting. Their cross-sector experience and expansive networks are an essential force behind our success—opening doors, guiding strategy, and helping us stay ahead of the curve in an evolving talent market. - We’ve also assembled a seasoned recruiting team with over 40 years of combined experience placing top-tier talent in roles that matter.
