True, the premier global executive talent platform known for leveraging data, AI, and expertise, announced a strategic investment partnership with Integrum Holdings LP, a private investment firm focused on tech-enabled professional services companies. The investment is set to power True’s next growth phase as it tackles increasingly complex leadership and talent challenges for clients worldwide.
Since its founding over 12 years ago, True has grown from a boutique firm into the sixth-largest executive search firm in North America, generating over $350 million in revenue. Its rapid expansion has been fueled by a combination of talented professionals, a culture of innovation, and a tech-first approach that has reshaped the executive talent landscape.
“I knew during our first meeting, the group at Integrum was special,” said Brad Stadler, co-founder and CEO of True. “We cared about attempting to achieve something great and were uncompromised in the importance of how we achieve our goals. I feel privileged to work with them.”
Strategic Alignment and Expertise
True’s leadership emphasized that Integrum’s sector expertise, growth vision, and commitment to people-centered cultures make the firm an ideal partner for the company’s next chapter. True will also benefit from the addition of Ursula Burns, Jeff Livingston, Tagar Olson, and Dan Rozenfeld to its Board, bringing decades of leadership experience across professional services, public company boards, and C-suite roles.
“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,” said Joe Riggione, co-founder and Executive Vice Chair of True.
Integrum’s Perspective
For Integrum, the investment aligns with its strategy of backing tech-enabled professional services companies with high-growth potential.
“We are looking forward to partnering with Brad, Joe, and the talented team at True,” said Ursula Burns, co-founder of Integrum and former CEO of Xerox. “They have built a remarkable platform with a clear vision for the future.”
“True’s technology-led approach and entrepreneurial team have consistently driven exceptional outcomes for their team, clients, and broader stakeholders,” added Jeff Livingston, Investment Committee Member at Integrum. “We are incredibly excited to be partners in their next phase.”
Driving the Future of Executive Search
The partnership highlights a growing trend in executive search: the integration of technology, AI, and data analytics to improve leadership placement outcomes. True’s platform combines traditional search expertise with a tech-forward approach, enabling clients to identify top talent faster and more efficiently while delivering highly personalized service.
With Integrum’s backing, True plans to accelerate product innovation, expand its global reach, and continue redefining the executive talent market through data-driven insights and AI-powered solutions.
“We are entering a new chapter where True’s entrepreneurial and tech-first culture will allow us to scale faster, innovate further, and serve clients even better,” said Stadler.
The partnership positions True as a next-generation executive search leader, combining the rigor of professional services with the power of modern technology to solve the most pressing talent and leadership challenges.
