Soumya Kesireddy
honoree profile
Soumya Kesireddy was an IT leader in need of top IT talent when she got the idea to start her own staffing firm. “Sometimes when you don’t like what’s going on, you have to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself,” she says. This meant co-founding ESB Technologies, a tech-focused staffing firm that has distinguished itself by combining a sophisticated ability to identify excellent talent with a deep understanding of the complex challenges clients face.
As CEO, Kesireddy has overseen steady growth of the company and its revenue. This year, ESB was recognized as one of the fastest-growing organizations in the Southwest by Inc. and was honored as a FAST 100 Asian American Business Award winner by the USPAACC.
Kesireddy has also worked to build a company whose values reflect her own. One of her proudest achievements was when ESB became Great Place to Work certified, with a 100% employee satisfaction rating. Asked about what she thinks makes the difference, Kesireddy points to ESB’s emphasis on employee and client satisfaction above all else. “I have an open door, and I really do listen,” she says. “When people are listened to, they feel valued.”
Looking ahead, ESB Technologies, a Salesforce Implementation partner, is not only expanding its presence by staffing Salesforce employees but also taking ownership of entire implementations. ESB is actively leveraging its in-house resources to enhance services and explore the potential of cutting-edge AI tools. Additionally, Kesireddy will be making an impact on the IT staffing ecosystem as a board member of ITServe Alliance, the largest association of IT Services organizations in the US.
