True, the only tech and data-first global executive talent platform, welcomes Tom Granado as the new Head of Talent Advisory in North America. With his extensive leadership advisory background, he will collaborate with Debu Mishra, Global Head of Talent Advisory, to enhance the practice’s leadership impact.

“Tom’s experience helping companies strategically define what clear leadership, successful talent management, and cultural alignment looks like will be indispensable for our clients and candidates,” said Joe Riggione, co-CEO of True Platform. “After speaking to a few of Tom’s VC clients we knew he’d built a business that values client relationships the way True does and we’re excited for him to continue that work here.”

Granado founded his business, Atomic Talent, to help PE & VC clients tackle complex organizational challenges across their portfolios. He brings an impressive track record, having improved go-to-market and management capabilities for companies ranging from $5.6 million to $4.7 billion in revenue. He also held a pivotal position on the management team at Bridgewater Associates, where he helped cultivate its renowned high-performance culture. As an advisory board member, he consulted CODA Markets’ leadership team prior to its acquisition by Apex FinTech Solutions, which joined forces to transform equity market structure.

“I am thrilled to join True,” Granado said. “With our combined data, technology, and relationships, we are uniquely positioned to help clients unleash potential and elevate performance.”
