Trofeo and NextPath Career Partners Announce Strategic Partnership
Collaboration brings end-to-end Microsoft solutions and staffing to clients nationwide
TAMPA, Fla. (April 17, 2025) – Trofeo, a cloud solutions company specializing in Microsoft Azure, has announced a formal partnership with NextPath Career Partners, a nationally recognized recruiting firm specializing in full-time placement and staff augmentation. This partnership unites two trusted names in the Microsoft ecosystem to offer clients a comprehensive approach to technology transformation and talent strategy.
The collaboration brings together Trofeo’s deep expertise in Microsoft technologies—including Azure, Microsoft 365 and enterprise security—with NextPath’s strength in strategic staffing and talent placement across IT and professional roles.
“Trofeo is excited to partner with NextPath to bring a unique value add to our current and future clients,” said Jake Halusic, CEO of Trofeo. “This partnership with NextPath will help our clients find the right internal skillsets to add to their team.”
Trofeo will act as the solution arm for NextPath, providing consulting services to help clients implement complex, outcome-driven projects. Areas of expertise include:
- Cloud Strategy & Design
- Cloud Migrations & Implementations
- Cloud Optimization
- Microsoft 365 Enablement
- AI Readiness & Enablement
- Data Classification, Governance & Security
- Managed Services & Security Services
With 100% Microsoft-certified consultants, Trofeo is equipped to execute critical projects on accelerated timelines—freeing internal teams to focus on adoption and long-term success.
“At NextPath, we believe in meeting our clients where they are—offering solutions that are both strategic and adaptable,” said Gina Curry, CEO of NextPath Career Partners. “Partnering with Trofeo allows us to blend top-tier talent with cutting-edge technical expertise, making sure our clients are equipped to tackle both immediate challenges and future growth opportunities.”
In turn, NextPath will support Trofeo clients with strategic full-time and contract-based talent solutions for long-term success. As Trofeo delivers project-based outcomes, many clients seek to build internal teams to support, scale and sustain those solutions. NextPath bridges that gap by sourcing professionals with the specialized skill sets needed to support Microsoft technologies, including cloud engineers, solution architects, cybersecurity analysts and IT project managers.
The partnership has existed informally through mutual referrals and shared client success stories. The formal partnership reflects the growing demand for unified consulting and staffing solutions.
“This isn’t just a handshake—we’ve delivered together, and we’ve seen the results,” added Halusic. “Now we’re ready to scale it.”
Future co-branded initiatives are planned, following a successful joint presence at the Tampa Bay Wave event. A joint logo and go-to-market strategy are already in place to support upcoming campaigns.
Together, Trofeo and NextPath are building a more agile, more capable Microsoft ecosystem—where clients have the right solutions and the right people to power what’s next.
