"“I was first introduced to Michelle Garland and Daversa Partners as a candidate. Having worked closely with several different Executive Search firms throughout the years, I was very impressed with Michelle's ability to grasp the essence of WorkWell's business; not only where WorkWell's been historically, but also where they were headed. When I subsequently began meeting with various Board members, the "story" that I had received from Michelle was absolutely in lock-step with what I heard from the Board members. Michelle's grasp of the competitive landscape and where WorkWell's been, was at that time, and aspired to go was right on!
Subsequent to joining WorkWell, I hired Michelle and Daversa to conduct a vitally important search for a new member of our Executive Leadership Team. This search was all about finding deep domain expertise in our "space" and marrying that with a healthy disdain for the "status quo". Simply, I was looking for that "one in a million" executive out there who had all the domain expertise and experience needed as well as an insatiable drive to innovate and create better solutions for our clients. Michelle immediately began sourcing numerous qualified candidates. And, I am happy to report, after a few months, we have our desired candidate on board."

"Daversa Partners has brought more energy and enthusiasm to our CEO search than in nearly any other search I have participated in. They conducted an exhaustive search where they sourced and screened dozens of qualified candidates, the vast majority of which were not in our current network. The relationships that we formed with some of the other candidates have ended up being nearly as valuable as the search result itself. I would highly recommend Daversa Partners."

"We recently completed a very key CEO search working closely with Paul Daversa. The talent of the panel of candidates presented was consistently strong and well qualified. Each candidate was seriously interested, well briefed, and ready to discuss the opportunity at a deep level. This meant that we started discussions at the second interview stage, rather than having to either qualify the fit or sell the position. As we were dealing with a transatlantic search, this meant a more efficient and productive experience for everyone involved. We completed a very challenging search ahead of our internal deadline and were able to announce the CEO when we announced the funding, something we set as our stretch goal."
