Gravity Talent Partners
“The Perfect Stack”
Michael Romano, Founder
Some people fall into this industry. I never left.
What started as a summer job at fifteen became nearly three decades of something I never wanted to walk away from. The reason is simple. I have watched, time and again, across every role I have held, that the right person in the right seat changes everything. That belief is what built this firm, and it is what drives every search we run and every relationship we invest in.
What began as a focused executive search practice has grown into something I am genuinely proud of. A place where experienced recruiters, consultants, and industry leaders can do their best work, backed by real infrastructure and a team that is equally invested in their success. This was built to be a collaboration, and that is exactly what it is.
We serve clients across the restaurant, hospitality, and service industry, from the emerging independent to the established organization, with the same standard of care regardless of size. Integrity is not a preference here. It is the only way we operate.
This is a people business. It always has been. And after nearly thirty years, that story has never been more true.
The right people, change everything
Our team spans executive search, consulting, and discipline-specific advisory across every corner of the hospitality, restaurant, and service industry landscape.
At every stage of growth, the expertise to move forward with confidence is right here.
