The executive talent industry is poised for further transformation driven by a significant new strategic partnership. True, a global executive talent platform, has announced a new investment partnership with Integrum Holdings, a private investment firm specializing in tech-enabled professional services companies. This substantial investment is set to fuel True's next phase of growth as it continues to leverage data, AI, and expertise to address the most critical talent and leadership challenges for its clients.
True has entered a strategic investment partnership with private equity firm Integrum Holdings.
The partnership will accelerate True's next phase of growth and industry evolution.
Integrum's leadership, including Ursula Burns, will join True's board of directors.
True has grown to become the sixth-largest executive search firm in North America.
The firm is known for its tech-first, data-driven approach to executive talent.
The alliance aims to reshape the executive talent landscape through innovation.
The partnership between True and Integrum was established on a foundation of aligned values and a common outlook on the future of the industry. True's leadership highlighted the cultural and strategic fit with the Integrum team as a key factor in the decision. Brad Stadler, co-founder and CEO of True, said, “I knew during our first meeting, the group at Integrum was special. I was energized after meeting their entire leadership team. We saw the world the same way. We cared about attempting to achieve something great and were uncompromised in the importance of how we achieve our goals and the impact we want to have on everyone involved.”
Since its founding over 12 years ago, True has been a disruptive force in the executive talent market. It has grown organically from a boutique firm into the sixth-largest executive search firm in North America, generating over $350 million in revenue. This growth has been powered by a culture of innovation and a technology-first mindset that emphasizes transparency. The investment from Integrum is a validation of this strategy and provides the capital to scale its impact further.
A significant aspect of the partnership is the addition of Integrum's leaders to True's board of directors. This infusion of experience is expected to be a tremendous asset for guiding the company's strategic direction. Joe Riggione, co-founder and Executive Vice Chair of True, said, “Integrum’s vision for growth, deep sector expertise, and shared commitment to fostering strong, people-centered cultures make them the ideal partner for where True is headed. We are very excited to welcome Ursula Burns, Jeff Livingston, Tagar Olson and Dan Rozenfeld to our Board.” Ursula Burns, co-founder at Integrum, former CEO of Xerox, and current Board Member of Uber, echoed the sentiment, stating, “We are looking forward to partnering with Brad, Joe and the talented team at True. They have built a remarkable platform with a clear vision for the future."
This strategic partnership marks a pivotal moment for True, equipping it with not only capital but also deep industry expertise to advance its mission. By combining True's tech-driven platform with Integrum's resources and guidance, the alliance is positioned to redefine the standards and capabilities within the executive talent industry.
