Here Is What They Are Saying About Devoto & Associates

Comments from a Senior Product Manager placed at one of our networking clients - Citrix Systems:

"It seems that the suggestions you had on my resume had a positive impact on Phil (hiring manager). He was impressed that my resume reflected everything he needed to know in two pages. He told me that it 'shows that you know how to communicate effectively and concisely.' Your firm added tremendous value to my search!"

Robert Kusters
Senior Product Manager

Quote from General Manager of large division at Citrix Systems:

"Jeff and Andrea have proven to be an invaluable recruiting asset for my Product Group at Citrix. Over the past couple of years they have brought in outstanding performers.

Key executives and product managers on my product management team came to us through Jeff and Andrea along with "hard to find" outbound product marketing managers who have proven to be solid performers and contributors to our marketing team. They have also found us strong business development executives and sales reps.

The hiring managers that work with Devoto appreciate that they only send in only qualified candidates and do not present an excessive number of resumes that waste my manager's valuable time. We feel confident that when a candidate is sent into Citrix he or she is a good fit for the open position.

We have come to depend on the search efforts of Devoto & Associates, as one of our key search partners, to find us the very best product management, product marketing, marketing, and business development talent in and outside the Bay Area."

Working with Bay Area VC Firms

Devoto & Associates prides itself in its relationships with Bay Area venture capital firms. Over the past five years - including the tough period after the "bubble burst" - we have worked closely with VCs like Sevin Rosen, ONSET Ventures, Woodside Capital Partners, Sierra Ventures, Osprey Ventures, Sand Hill and many others.

All of these firms have participated in our and have been featured guests or have been part of lunches that included prominent Silicon Valley executives such as Dan Schienman (SVP, Corporate Development at Cisco Systems) and Sandra Bergeron (EVP, Corporate Development at McAfee).

"Jeff and Andrea put together a great event with their Executive Lunch series. I have been very impressed with the content at the lunches I have attended especially an event late last year that featured a senior executive out of Network Appliance. They have a very impressive group of senior executives that attend and it is a fantastic way to network with other executives. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in making great connections in the Valley and gathering valuable information on emerging technologies like storage and security!"
