Our story

Ray D’Cruz & Patrick Fitzgerald, co-founders

“We started Performance Leader in 2007 because most HR platforms were too expensive or difficult to implement.

Today, the same HR platforms are really just here to tick a box. They're clunky, generic and totally unsuitable for the challenges of partnerships, where the stakes are high.

Almost 20 years on, our focus remains the same: specialist tooling for professional firms that are serious about building a performance and reward culture.

Our product team obsesses over design and deploys at a velocity only available to specialists.

Our client team stands beside our clients, as reflected in our NPS score of 80 (the top 1%). They're also dedicated to building our community and sharing knowledge.

If you want to do more than tick a box, we're for you."
