BlueWave Resource Partners
In the center of Central Florida’s booming tech corridor, BlueWave Resource Partners has quickly become one of the nation’s go-to firms for tech and engineering talent. Whether it’s fueling the magic of themed entertainment, advancing digital marketing, or supporting aerospace innovation, BlueWave is the connector helping businesses build the teams that drive big ideas forward.
BlueWave isn’t just another recruiting agency—it’s a homegrown success story. In an industry where growth can be unpredictable, BlueWave has broken the mold, becoming one of the fastest-growing staffing firms in Central Florida. The secret? A clear mission: connect great companies with great people, while delivering a level of service and value that feels personal, not transactional.
At the helm is a leadership team that blends vision with authenticity. CEO Charlie Lewis, a familiar face in Orlando’s tech community, past Chairman and longtime board member of Innovate Orlando, brings both connectivity and foresight to the company’s strategy. President Laura Danforth has been instrumental in transforming company culture, creating an environment where people come first—a shift that has directly fueled BlueWave’s explosive growth. Remarkably, she’s achieved this while also becoming a mother of two and balancing family life, embodying the same resilience and drive seen in so many of Orlando’s entrepreneurs. Sales Manager Rachel Whitehouse, one of the most dynamic sales leaders in the industry, has been a driving force in scaling sales and recruiting operations, consistently driving results, and building a culture where people can thrive. Together, this powerhouse team brings over 40 years of industry expertise—and an unshakable commitment to people, progress, and possibility.
From the space coast to downtown Orlando’s buzzing tech hub, BlueWave is deeply woven into the fabric of the region’s growth. For companies chasing the future and professionals ready to leave their mark, BlueWave is more than a staffing partner—it’s a movement, propelling Orlando’s innovation economy forward.
