PHILADELPHIA, PA — True has appointed longtime executive search leader Adam Kovach as vice chairman, adding a seasoned industry strategist at a moment when the firm is accelerating its tech-driven approach to leadership hiring. Kovach brings more than 25 years of experience building, scaling and advising major search practices serving private equity firms, public companies and mid-market enterprises.
True co-founder and co-CEO Brad Stadler said Kovach’s arrival reflects both cultural alignment and a shared belief that the executive search industry is ripe for reinvention. He noted that Kovach will work closely with the firm’s leadership team and is also making a personal investment in the company — a signal, Stadler said, of the executive’s confidence in True’s long-term vision.
Kovach has led hundreds of high-profile searches across the investment and corporate landscape and has guided talent strategy for blue-chip organizations navigating rapid expansion or leadership transition. His role at True will focus on advancing the firm’s blend of proprietary technology, data-driven insights and high-touch advisory work — a model the company says differentiates it in a competitive market.
President and COO Kate Vanek said Kovach’s background strengthens True’s efforts to scale a more transparent and efficient search process, building on more than a decade of innovation within the firm. She pointed to True’s emphasis on personalization and client service as areas where Kovach’s experience will help the company expand responsibly.
For Kovach, the move represents a chance to help shape the next phase of a fast-growing firm known for challenging traditional search practices. He said he looks forward to deepening relationships with private equity sponsors and public company clients while broadening True’s reach in sectors facing complex leadership needs.
The appointment comes as competition for executive talent remains intense, particularly in markets where digital transformation, investment activity and operational shifts continue to reshape leadership demands. True’s leaders said Kovach’s addition will support the firm’s growth as it continues to refine the future of tech-enabled executive search.
