People-first leadership in action: Pipedrive recognized by Comparably

New York, June 25, 2025 – Pipedrive, the easy and effective sales CRM for small businesses, today announced that it has been honored with the Best Company Leadership award from Comparably, a leading workplace culture and corporate reputation platform. This award recognizes companies with the highest-rated executive management teams, based entirely on feedback from employees.

The recognition reflects the confidence and trust Pipedrive employees place in their CEO, executive leaders, and direct managers, underscoring the company’s long-standing commitment to a People-first culture.

“At Pipedrive, putting people first isn’t just a value we talk about, it’s something we put into action every single day,” said Tanya Channing, Chief People and Culture Officer at Pipedrive. “It’s about leading with empathy, being transparent, and fostering an environment where everyone feels genuinely supported and heard. True leadership isn’t defined by titles or hierarchy. It’s reflected in how we treat each other, how we listen, and how we show up. That’s how we ensure our culture isn’t just a statement, but it’s something our people experience every day.”

Employees consistently praised Pipedrive’s leadership for its transparency, focus, and genuine care for its teams. Many highlighted a leadership style that is approachable, grounded, and committed to creating a culture where people feel supported and empowered. For example:
