After joining as CRO in September 2022, Gravitas embarked on its next phase of growth, expanding into the German market with offices in Munich and Frankfurt. The company also acquired R2 Group in Rotterdam, and Hamlyn Williams’ China and Hong Kong operations.

Jonathan Ellerbeck, current managing director for the UK, will transition to group chairman, overseeing the group strategy, taking ownership of corporate governance and driving acquisition opportunities.

“This evolution of our executive team sets a firm foundation for future growth and enables us to adapt and seize opportunities as they arise,” said Ellerbeck.

The company statement said the creation of the CEO position represents a significant milestone for Gravitas and reflects the group’s commitment to strategic growth.
