True, the only tech- and data-first global executive talent platform, has announced the appointment of Adam Kovach as Vice Chairman. With over 25 years of leadership experience in executive recruiting and advisory, Kovach brings deep expertise in scaling search firms and advising boards and CEOs on critical leadership decisions across the private equity and public company landscape.
Kovach will play a pivotal role in advancing True’s technology-enabled approach to executive talent strategy, helping the firm continue its rapid growth and ongoing disruption of the traditional executive search industry.
“We couldn’t be more excited for Adam to join us,” said Brad Stadler, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of True. “What excites me most about him is our shared belief that there’s an opportunity to build something truly special in our market—one that provides more value to our clients, the candidate ecosystem, and the True team. Adam’s personal investment in our company reflects his confidence in our vision and our people.”
As Vice Chairman, Kovach will work closely with True’s leadership to expand its presence across private equity, venture-backed, and public company clients while enhancing collaboration across practices. He will also be a personal investor in the company, further aligning his commitment to its mission and growth trajectory.
“Over twelve years ago, we set out to make executive search more transparent, efficient, and innovative,” said Kate Vanek, President and COO of True. “By combining proprietary technology with a deeply personal client experience, we’ve filled a major gap in the market. Adam’s proven leadership and client-centric approach will help us scale that mission thoughtfully.”
Kovach is recognized as a leading voice in executive search, having built and led major practices serving blue-chip corporations, mid-market private equity firms, and global growth companies. His appointment underscores True’s commitment to uniting world-class advisory expertise with its tech-driven talent intelligence platform.
“The opportunity to join a fast-growing firm like True—known for its innovation and agility—is ideal for me,” said Kovach. “I’m looking forward to deepening our partnerships with clients, strengthening collaboration across teams, and driving new offerings that elevate leadership hiring globally. I’m thrilled to be part of True’s next chapter.”
With this appointment, True continues to expand its leadership bench as it redefines how organizations identify, evaluate, and empower executive talent through technology, data, and human insight.
