Riviera Partners, a San Francisco, California-based executive search firm, announced it received an investment from global private equity and venture capital firm Insight Partners, headquartered in New York.

Riviera Partners noted that the investment enables it to forge additional opportunities for its recruiters and employees to scale into new markets and geographies. Privately backed since 2019, Riviera Partners will continue to operate independently.

“Today’s announcement validates what we have accomplished over the past few years and is an exciting next step in our growth journey,” said Will Hunsinger, CEO of Riviera Partners. “Insight Partners has been finding and funding visionary executives for the past two-plus decades. As Riviera Partners continues to scale and innovate to deliver the best service and experience to our clients and candidates, this investment made sense.”

Founded in 2002, Riviera Partners specializes in placing technology leaders in the most successful startups and enterprises across the US and Europe. The company has completed thousands of searches for companies such as Bumble, GoFundMe, Uber, Upwork, Snowflake, Tricentis, CircleCI, Figma, Ambient.ai, Roblox, Bill.com, HackerRank, Zendesk and Discord.

“We look forward to working with Riviera Partners as they continue to grow and place top technical leadership that will build the future generational companies,” said Allyson White, managing director at Insight Partners. “With thousands of open engineering, product, and design leadership roles across Insight Partners’ portfolio, we know how in-demand top talent is. Riviera Partners has established a best-in-class, tech-driven approach to finding the best product and engineering candidates.”
