True, the fastest-growing global platform of innovative talent management products and services, today announced its new office in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This region, which includes Belgium and Luxembourg, is a startup area on the rise – with a booming tech scene and a deep need for the tech-enabled global talent that’s at the heart of True’s expertise.
“Expansion to Amsterdam is a natural step forward as we expand our capabilities and connections in the world’s technology centers,” said Joe Riggione, True co-CEO and founder. “Amsterdam has big ambitions and the third-largest startup sector in Europe. Companies there need access to world-class leadership to ensure they can compete and win globally.”

“The capabilities of True’s platform go beyond search,” said Siv Sivanesan, GM, International. “True’s technology software, diversity platform, investment arm and leadership assessments enable us to meet the various talent needs of this region.”
Uros Zver, an expert in the executive search industry, will lead the Amsterdam team.
