Agile Leadership

Tricia Dempsey

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

For 10 years, Tricia Dempsey has been the driving force behind the growth and success of her IT recruiting firm, Agile. From the day she launched the company, Tricia has been a passionate leader dedicated to the highest standards in IT recruiting. Her tireless commitment to excellence is demonstrated in her professional life and her advocacy for charitable causes that support women and children.

Tricia entered the IT staffing industry in 1996, serving in a variety of recruiting leadership positions before starting Agile Resources in 2003. She has worked with clients from Fortune 100 companies to mid-market and emerging organizations. Tricia's experience in technology staffing and professional services extends to industries including healthcare, financial services, media, technology, telecommunications, transportation, manufacturing, and more.

Tricia founded Agile at a time in her life when most people wouldn't think of launching a company. She was in the midst of a battle against Stage 3 breast cancer.  Through it all, Agile flourished - growing more than 400 percent in the last four years. Agile ranked tenth in Atlanta Business Chronicle's 2010 list of Atlanta's Top 10 contingency executive recruiters. In 2011, Agile's momentum continued as its growth in IT staffing and consulting market share accelerated and Agile was named to the Inc. 5000 list for the third straight year.
