Built on MSP Expertise.
Focused on What's Next.
SV Executive Search was founded in 2008 as a boutique executive search firm serving the MSP, MSSP and IT services ecosystem. From the beginning, the firm built its reputation through specialized industry knowledge, trusted relationships and successful leadership placements for companies navigating growth and change.
Today, under the leadership of Managing Partners Marissa Withers and DeLynn Mitchell, SV continues that foundation with a focused commitment to helping MSPs navigate growth, transformation, and leadership change. Together, we combine deep executive search expertise with firsthand experience supporting leadership teams inside the managed services industry. Our work extends beyond executive search into a broader advisory partnership, providing perspective before, during, and after critical leadership decisions.
