Q2 Wrapped — What a Quarter at Pivotal Partners!
Q2 was nothing short of exceptional. We set bold targets, and the team blew past most of them.
Here's a quick preview of the top-line numbers ahead of our QBR later this week:
- 192% of target.
- More customers, more jobs, more revenue than any quarter to date.
- Growth continues to hockey stick — we’ve already hit 72% of our ambitious 2025 revenue goal.
- Hired 7 people across sales and operations.
- Candidate retention has remained at 100% for H1.
But the real story? Our people.
A few well-earned shoutouts:
Samson Abodunrin – Our top performer by percentage, smashing 242% of his Q2 target. Landed and expanded several key customers. A phenomenal quarter.
Brad Houston – Mr. Consistency. Hit 241% to target, delivering the biggest deal (Large retained project) of his career and partnering with some of the most exciting companies in the cyber space.
Joe Marron – Closed out Q2 at 177% and brought in several critical new clients with huge potential within the AI & Developer tool ecosystem. Superb execution.
James Cato – Thrilled to be working with James again. He grew our US business by 113% in one quarter, with more key US hires coming soon. Big momentum.
Jordan Goodenough – Achieved a personal best in his 7-year recruitment career, just 6 months into life at Pivotal. Smashed 125% of a fully ramped target, working across top DevOps & AI companies. Outstanding work.
Weronika Nazarko (Nika) – Joined in January and just delivered one of the strongest quarters of her career. Huge congrats on hitting 102%, Nika — an incredible achievement.
Max Hogarth – Joined in January and, by his own admission, didn’t quite expect the level-up required at Pivotal Partners. After late nights, tough conversations, and serious growth, he's landed several world-class clients. I’m proud to be partnered with him heading into Q3. Watch this space.
Monie Rogers & Ben Clifton – Huge congrats to our newest Associates for closing their first placements — the first of many. And Emily Fisher — we’re so close. Don’t worry
Annalisa Girgenti– The star behind the scenes, who allows us Pivotal Partners, to run hard & fast, daily. Not only running Pivotal's operations, but often mine & James's lives! Thank you.
We also welcomed Gabriel Inema, who’s leading the charge in our Cyber Ecosystem, and Duy Chinh Dinh, who’s adding even more fuel to our growing back-office team.
Last but not least, a huge thank you to my partner in crime, James Whipp.
Q2 was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when high standards meet great people.
Let’s carry that energy into Q3.
