Paul Daversa, CEO of Daversa Partners commented, "Daversa Partners would not be 'who we are' today or where we are in market without the extraordinary women who have been leading from the front for the past 25+ years. The majority of the firm, as well as my senior partnership are female executives; and leaders like Katie bring tremendous impact to our industry as a whole. Watching Katie grow into the determined, resilient and ambitious leader she is today has been a highlight of my career. She is a role model and mentor to all women (and men) across the firm, and wholeheartedly invests in the success & growth of our employees, at all levels."

"I am so excited to be joining this incredible group of leaders as I move into the role of Managing Director. To Paul and the entire leadership team, thank you for fostering an environment where grit, tenacity and hard work always pays off. And a very special thank you to Laura Kinder, a true champion for women in tech and a personal mentor and friend. You have always stood in my corner and encouraged me to be my most authentic self. For the past ten years I have looked to your example as a partner and leader in this firm and will do so for the next ten to come," said Fischer.
