Gregory added: “This marks a significant step forward in fortifying the company’s position as an industry leader and driving growth in the ever-evolving broadcasting, media, and production landscape. The new leadership team’s combined expertise aligns seamlessly with our vision for the future and their collective skills, experience and strategic vision will be instrumental in steering EMG/Gravity Media through the exciting opportunities that are ahead”.
