Swell Partners
Led by CEO Kari Gatto, Swell Partners provides customized talent solutions designed to foster employee happiness and workplace well-being. For the past decade, the firm has helped employers build more productive, less stressful, and more dynamic teams for long-term success. The 100% women-owned company has 75 employees.
“Running a woman-owned company means I can use my unique experiences to support and empower a diverse workforce,” says Gatto. “As a mother and active member of the community, I understand the importance of a balanced life, which is why at Swell Partners we value flexibility and allow our consultants to work in a way that suits their lifestyle and supports their mental wellbeing. This approach fosters an environment where diversity, inclusion and equity are valued.”
Swell Partners was recently named one of the Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies for the third year in a row. “Our growth has been driven by innovation, hard work, and a firm belief that happy people create a happy (and productive) workplace and that a positive work environment can change lives and businesses,” says Gatto. “This belief is why our growth is driven by word of mouth and client referrals.”
Gatto mentors women at all stages of their careers. A certified life and executive coach, she created the program “Find Your Why” which has helped over 100 women discover their life purpose and core values. She also serves as the board president of the Port Washington Parent Resource Center, which supports new mothers.
