Envoy Global Names Jason Brennan as its New Chief Executive Officer

Brennan Brings Exceptional Experience and a Proven Track Record as Envoy Continues Plans for Further Expansion, Domestically and Internationally, in the $6 Billion Global Immigration Market 

CHICAGO, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Envoy Global, a leading global corporate immigration services provider, announced today that Jason Brennan has been appointed the Company's new Chief Executive Officer, effective July 14, 2025. Brennan succeeds long-time CEO Richard Burke, who announced his decision to retire from Envoy earlier this year to focus on non-profit organizations and board advisory work. Burke will remain an Envoy shareholder and board advisor. Palladium Equity Partners, a middle-market private equity firm, acquired Envoy in 2021 and is its largest shareholder, alongside investor True Wind Capital.

With a presence in over 15 countries and capabilities worldwide, Envoy Global delivers a complete range of services required to manage immigration and business visas for a global workforce.  

Brennan is an attorney and accomplished global business leader with a distinguished career spanning law and legal technology. He began his professional journey practicing law at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett before transitioning into corporate legal services, where he has held a series of senior executive roles across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Most recently, from 2021 until his appointment at Envoy Global, Brennan served as Chief Executive Officer of NAM (National Arbitration and Mediation), the top-ranked tech-enabled arbitration services business, where he played a key role in leading a successful private equity exit last year. Prior to NAM, he held senior leadership positions at several leading legal technology and services companies, including serving as CEO of Luminance, a pioneer in legal-grade AI, and as President of International at Epiq, a global provider of legal and business services, where he and his family were based first in Hong Kong and then later in the UK. Brennan received his BA from Yale University and his JD from Georgetown University Law School.

Alex Funk, Partner at Palladium Equity Partners, said, "Jason is a highly accomplished CEO whose deep legal and international experience brings invaluable perspective to Envoy Global. His expertise aligns perfectly with the company's mission and strategic priorities as it continues to pursue growth opportunities in the $6 billion global immigration services market."

Jason Brennan commented, "I am deeply honored to step into the role of CEO at Envoy Global. As the global innovator in immigration services, Envoy is uniquely positioned to deliver a better way for global organizations to navigate the complexities of corporate immigration. I believe the company has an exciting future ahead, and I look forward to working with our talented management team and investors to achieve our full potential in the global corporate immigration services marketplace."

Sean Giese, Partner at True Wind Capital, added, "Jason is an outstanding choice as Envoy's new CEO. We look forward to partnering with him and benefiting from his vast experience."

Retiring CEO, Richard Burke, said, "I am deeply proud of all we accomplished over the past decade to further Envoy's mission and provide best-in-class global immigration services to its 1,000-plus customers. Jason is an excellent choice to succeed me as CEO. Envoy's leadership team and I, as well as our investors, will work with him to ensure a smooth transition of leadership."

Geoff Baird, Envoy's Board Chairman, concluded, "We are extremely pleased to have selected Jason Brennan as Envoy's new CEO. At the same time, the Board and our shareholders want to thank Richard Burke for his years of service during which time he helped grow the company's topline from seven to nine figures. In the last year alone, Envoy has successfully expanded its global reach through four important acquisitions, broadening its services for multinational and regional customers. We wish Richard well and look forward to benefiting from his judgment as an advisor to the Board."
