Hi, I’m Kadir Barry — founder of TrueWorth, and your behind-the-scenes ally in negotiating the job offer you truly deserve.
Before I began coaching I spent 15+ years building and scaling technical teams at some of the most competitive companies in the world — including Google, Twitter, Lyft, and the U.S. Digital Service at the White House. Most recently, I served as Head of Technical Talent at Kleiner Perkins, where I partnered with founders and executives across the portfolio to build top-tier engineering and product teams — hiring everyone from founding engineers to VPs and CTOs.
I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes, made hundreds of offers, and sat at the table where compensation decisions are made — so I know exactly how the game works, and more importantly, how to help you win it.
What I saw over and over again: smart, qualified people — even top performers — consistently undervalued themselves. They didn’t negotiate well or they just didn’t know how to frame the ask. And as a result, they left tens of thousands of dollars on the table.
That’s why I created TrueWorth — to make sure that never happens to you.
Our mission at TrueWorth is to arm professionals with the strategy, tools, and confidence to advocate for what they’re worth. I believe negotiation isn’t about being aggressive — it’s about being clear, informed, and unapologetic about your value. Let’s get you what you’ve earned. Because when you know your worth, you don’t settle.
