Brian Whitfield, one of our founding partners, retired in June.
After beginning his career as a Developer, Brian moved into staffing leadership more than 25 years ago. During this period, he built and sold three different IT staffing firms and was responsible for placing over a thousand people, many which became long-term customers.
For Enspire Partners, Brian has been responsible for managing our recruiting staff and running back-office operations. Combining his real-world experience and good business sense, Brian has been a key contributor to our company for the last ten years. His leadership through the most challenging months of Covid lockdowns was critical to our business. Enspire Partners wouldn’t exist without the hard work and leadership which Brian provided, and we already miss working with him.
Brian is an avid diver and underwater photographer. He has spent more than a year of his life in Cozumel on one week vacation stints and plans to spend a lot more time there and exploring Europe during his retirement.
With this announcement, we have been able to bring on additional investors to our business funding an expansion in our recruiting staff and enhancing our technology systems. Some of this is necessary to cover the many roles Brian performed for us, but our goal is to use this opportunity to significantly enhance the reach and quality of our services as we begin our second decade of helping clients and consultants.
