Daversa Recognized as a 2025 Inc. Power Partner Award Winner

The annual list recognizes the leading B2B companies that have proven track records of supporting entrepreneurs and helping companies grow.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Daversa, the executive search firm shaping the future of everything, has been named to the 2025 Inc. Power Partner Awards list, recognizing the companies most trusted by founders to help them build, scale, and lead.

Each year, Inc. honors organizations that serve as true partners to entrepreneurs - those who go beyond transactional work to deliver impact that moves companies forward. Daversa’s inclusion reflects decades spent building the leadership teams behind the world’s most ambitious ideas.

“Our job has always been about more than hiring,” said Paul Daversa, Founder and CEO of Daversa. “Over the years, we’ve rebuilt our own firm in the image of the founders we serve - fast-moving, deeply convicted, and relentlessly focused on outcomes. We operate with the same AI-augmented intuition and intensity they do. That shared DNA is what makes us a trusted partner. We understand the drive, the scale, the urgency, and the stakes. This recognition affirms what we’ve always believed: the right leaders change everything.”

Daversa’s partnerships span every corner of innovation - from AI and frontier tech to fintech, climate, and consumer. The firm has built executive teams for category-defining companies like OpenAI, Lululemon, Walmart, Personio, Clay, and PsiQuantum, MongoDB, Mercor, and Poolside, helping them accelerate their missions and unlock new eras of growth.

Whether identifying a founding CTO for a stealth AI startup or placing a first-time CEO to scale a growth-stage business, Daversa operates at the intersection of ambition and execution - a model defined by precision, pace, and partnership. For nearly three decades, the firm has proven one enduring truth: the team you build is the company you build.
