OUR STORY
Decades in the Making
Our journey begins with a quest for exceptional talent. Rewind two decades, and you’ll find our CEO, Eric Hoopman, a determined entrepreneur on a relentless search for the perfect development team.
After scouring the globe, both physically and virtually, Eric’s pursuit led him to an unexpected gem: Uzbekistan. There, amidst humble, resourceful, and deeply committed individuals, he discovered a level of dedication and camaraderie unlike any other.
Beyond crafting groundbreaking software and thriving businesses together, the bond transcended borders. Uzbek colleagues celebrated milestones, from weddings to buying homes, and some even relocated to Eric’s hometown in Oshkosh, WI.
Today, many of those original Uzbek team members have found success stateside, employed by leading software companies. Our affinity for Central Asia runs deep, fueling our mission to unveil its untapped talent to the world.
We’re not just connecting entrepreneurs and leaders with talent in countries like Uzbekistan; we’re forging global opportunities for its people. This passion drives us forward at Truss, as we continue to pioneer new paths and unlock the potential of this extraordinary talent market.
