StevenDouglas Reaches Top 10 Executive Search Status Across Three Texas Markets in 2026

Sunrise, United States - October 22, 2026 / StevenDouglas /

Ft. Lauderdale, FL - October 21, 2026 - StevenDouglas has expanded its services across numerous Sunbelt states, including Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee. The firm is scaling operations to deliver both in-market, boutique hiring services and broader capabilities for national and global clients. The expansion coincides with a period of notable recognition for StevenDouglas, including placement on the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America, the Hunt Scanlon Top 50 Executive Search Firms list, and the Top 100 Private Companies in South Florida.

The Sunbelt expansion has been driven by a combination of organic client demand and strategic talent investment. As Fortune 1000 companies and high-growth private equity-backed and private middle market firms continue to relocate and expand across the region, StevenDouglas has positioned itself as an executive search partner for organizations competing for leadership talent in major markets. The firm has also developed capacity to provide project-based and interim resources across the region for global clients requiring multi-market or specialized industry recruiting across multiple practice areas.

In 2026, StevenDouglas achieved Top 10 executive search firm status in Austin, Houston, and Dallas - a notable milestone for a firm that entered the Texas market just a few years ago. This recognition across three major Texas markets reflects the team assembled by Laurie Canepa, Texas Managing Director, and the depth of client relationships the firm has cultivated across the state. The firm's expansion into Texas spans Finance & Accounting, Technology, and HR executive search, staffing, and project-based resources teams, representing one component of the firm's broader organic growth.

The firm has also expanded its service offerings in 2026 to meet evolving client demands, including:

The growth of its Technology Search & Staffing division into new markets across the Sunbelt, including Houston, Atlanta, and Charlotte. The Atlanta office was elevated to a full-service location encompassing Finance & Accounting Search, Technology, Supply Chain/Operations, Sales/Marketing, HR, and Legal recruiting. Additional service expansions this year include the growth of the Supply Chain & Operations practice to incorporate Engineering specialists, and the Human Resources practice extending to a fully national scope to serve clients across multiple industries and regions.

"StevenDouglas' growth across the Sunbelt has been nothing short of extraordinary," said Matt Shore, CEO of StevenDouglas. "In a very short period of time, we've built out multiple practice teams, earned local recognition from top business journals, established relationships with some of the most exciting companies in the country...and we're just getting started!"

The firm's growth reflects a deliberate, culture-first approach that prioritizes hiring experienced talent during periods of economic uncertainty, investing in long-term client relationships, and maintaining consistent operations when markets grow volatile. StevenDouglas applied this same counter-cyclical approach following the 2008 financial crisis and again during the 2020 pandemic, emerging from each period in a stronger competitive position. Over the past several years, the firm has more than doubled in size, now exceeding $125 million in annual revenue with a network spanning more than 25 offices and hundreds of professionals across the United States and internationally, including presence in Canada and support for Latin America.
