We were named one of the Tampa Bay region’s fastest-growing private companies — another marker of our growth well beyond our D.C. roots.

District Partners has been named to the 2025 Tampa Bay Business Journal Fast 50, ranking No. 18 among the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Tampa Bay region. For a firm founded in Washington, D.C. with a growing presence in St. Petersburg and the Bay Area, it’s a recognition we’re proud to share — and one that reflects the trust of the clients and candidates who have grown right alongside us. 

About the Fast 50 

The Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 recognizes the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Tampa Bay region, ranked by revenue growth over a three-year period. Announced each summer, it’s one of the area’s most closely watched measures of business momentum — a snapshot of the companies driving the region’s economy forward. District Partners is honored to be included on this year’s list, in a region that has become one of the country’s most dynamic business hubs. 

Roots in D.C. Growth in Tampa Bay. 

District Partners was founded in Washington, D.C., and built to go wherever the right talent lives. Our growing footprint in St. Petersburg and across Tampa Bay is a natural extension of that mission — bringing the same partner-led search and consulting model to a region that’s become one of the country’s most dynamic business hubs. Being recognized among its fastest-growing companies, in our own backyard, means a great deal. 

The same model, the same standard 

We’ve tried to grow the right way rather than the fastest way. Every search is led by a senior partner, sourced from an off-market network, and run with accountability to the right outcome rather than a placement fee. As clients asked us to do more, our scope grew with them — from executive and professional search into a full Interim Solutions practice, placing fractional and interim leaders and deploying specialized project teams across compliance, technology, and corporate transactions. Recognition like the Fast 50 is a welcome byproduct of getting that work right, one relationship at a time. 

“To be named one of the fastest-growing companies in Tampa Bay is a real honor — especially in a market this competitive. This recognition belongs to our team, and to the clients and candidates who trusted us as we grew.”  — Josh Fisher, Founder & Managing Partner

Where we go from here 

The Fast 50 follows our spot on the 2023 Inc. 5000 — quiet encouragement to keep doing the work well across finance, accounting, technology, and the leaders who move businesses forward, in Tampa Bay and nationwide. Mostly, it reflects the clients and candidates who placed their trust in us along the way. To them, simply: thank you.
