Our Clients
"I have worked with Devoto & Associates over the past 3 years - currently at Citrix (an industry leader in on demand access) and previously at NetContinuum, an early stage network security company in the Silicon Valley.
At NetContinuum, Jeff helped us fill key sales and pre-sales positions in our sales organization and placed the current VP, Sales and Business Development who has turned out to be a superstar for the company. I was involved in this process and while this was a very difficult position to fill, Jeff provided me with several quality executives to choose from. When I moved to NetScaler (recently acquired by Citrix) last year he worked with our marketing department to help us fill key outbound marketing management positions.
Recently I asked Jeff to help me fill an executive marketing position - a VP, Product Management. This was probably my most important hire in the past year. We looked internally, worked through our own HR department and I worked my connections but it was Jeff who found us an outstanding VP out of Cisco. This individual has been a stellar performer and excelling in this strategic role.
Jeff works well with early stage, enterprise software companies but is also effective with larger companies. Since the acquisition of NetScaler by Citrix, Jeff has continued to help us fill key positions throughout the company. We highly recommend Devoto & Associates to assist you in filling marketing, sales or business development positions within your organization."

"The sales management team at Solidcore has been extremely pleased with the search efforts of Devoto & Associates. They were referred to us by another happy client in the web application security sector. Over the past year, Jeff and Andrea have filled key senior sales and pre-sales positions in our Palo Alto, Dallas and Chicago locations. Jeff and Andrea take the time to prepare an effective job description, send us well-qualified candidates and have an excellent understanding of our products and market sector. I would highly recommend them!"

"I met Jeff at one of the Devoto & Associates' executive lunches at Mings in Palo Alto and brought him into Application Security to help us fill key regional sales positions in the Bay Area and Atlanta. Jeff and Andrea worked very effectively with my VP, Worldwide Sales to present a handful of highly qualified candidates with excellent skills in our industry The interview process moved very quickly, they showed a keen understanding of our technology in the security sector and found us two 'A-Players'.
We have another important sales position to fill and have engaged Jeff and Andrea again to work with us again based on the quality work they demonstrated previously. I would highly recommend Devoto & Associates."
Jack Hembrough
President & CEO
Application Security, Inc.
"Devoto & Associates has a very good understanding of the enterprise security market and has successfully placed strong sales and business development candidates with leading venture-backed companies. Additionally, the firm provides unique value by hosting a quarterly lunch program for CEOs, VCs and other executives where top executives in high technology provide an 'inside view' on current trends and issues facing today’s businesses. The connections I made and what I learned from attending his last two events (guests were Dan Schienman – SVP, Cisco and Sandra Bergeron – EVP, McAfee) well exceeded my expectations.
I have enjoyed working with Jeff Devoto and his firm and recommend their services to security startups looking for quality sales, marketing, and business development professionals."

"In my professional opinion, I have found Devoto and Associates to be one of the most effective and professional executive recruiting firms I have had a business relationship with. As a candidate, Devoto and Associates were thorough and directed me to the right perspective employers by matching my qualifications with the job requirements.
I have used Devoto and Associates on several occasions to recruit talented personnel. They have always performed an outstanding job and I would, without reservation, recommend them to my colleagues.
In addition, their innovative round-table business discussion lunches are a wealth of information for any business manager who would like to keep abreast of current business events and who would like to form business relationships with high level executives."
