Our Story
SW Partners was founded on a simple belief: that executive search should match the pace and adaptability of the companies it serves. In high-growth software environments, hiring needs evolve fast, and traditional search models often fall behind.
​
We built a consultancy designed for growth, combining the reach and quality of a global firm with the agility of a hands-on partner. Our model flexes to fit your hiring strategy, whether that means a strategic leadership hire or a full-scale commercial buildout.
​
We know what it takes to scale because we’ve lived it. We have worked alongside founders and revenue leaders to build go-to-market teams that deliver impact quickly and sustainably.
The business was founded by Simon Smallwood. His experience leading international search for high-growth tech companies shaped the firm’s agile, outcome-driven approach. It is built for the pace and complexity of today’s SaaS landscape.
