About

Betsy Robinson is the accomplished entrepreneur behind Tier4 Group and its executive search division, Retained. Tier4 Group is a woman-owned, diversity-certified firm specializing in connecting top-tier tech and executive talent with the right opportunities. Headquartered in Atlanta and operating across the US, Tier4 Group blends cutting-edge recruitment automation with a personal touch, ensuring the best fit for both clients and candidates.

Under Betsy’s leadership, Tier4 Group has experienced phenomenal growth, earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years (2019–2024) and landing on Atlanta’s Pacesetters list five times. It’s also a four-time Bulldog 100 honoree, celebrating the fastest-growing businesses led by UGA alumni.

Betsy herself has racked up some serious accolades, including being named LGBTQ Businessperson of the Year in Georgia (2023) and making the inaugural Inc. 30 Under 30-ish list. She was also recognized in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 40 Under 40 Class of 2019. A proud University of Georgia alum, Betsy holds a B.B.A. from the Terry College of Business.

Beyond business, she’s deeply involved in the community, serving as Board President for Women in Technology (WIT) and previously holding board roles with the Technology Association of Georgia’s Diversity & Inclusion Society and the Business Advisory Board for ITT Technical Institute.

But her most important roles? Wife and Mom. When she’s not leading her company or volunteering, you’ll find Betsy cheering on her son at the soccer field, out on the lake, or passionately rooting for Atlanta’s sports teams and, of course, the Georgia Bulldogs. Go Dawgs, Sic ‘Em!
