Meet the team

Finding Esteemed talent is our talent.

Our story begins with two software developers who met through Drupal events, and discovered they had quite a bit in common.

Chris McGrath and Albert Volkman founded Esteemed to address their shared interest. Together with a team of ambitious go-getters, they built one of the world’s largest Drupal talent networks

We've built an Esteemed network for contractors and employers alike

Esteemed exists to solve the very issue AI and Chris noticed while working at a Seattle-based digital agency. Employers in the digital space struggled to hire Esteemed talent.

There simply weren’t enough developers to fill open roles, and anyone good was already busy.

The solution? A platform where advice support, tools, and people can come together.
