What Others Are Saying

Real transformation, real impact.
Hear from those who’ve experienced the Gravitas effect.

  • Tracey and I worked together at Yellow for 4 years, where I served as Non Executive Director and Board Chair. Originally as Chief People Officer the Board promoted Tracey to Chief Executive Officer. Whilst the Board noted Tracey’s obvious strength and experience with people, it was Tracey’s ability to translate this to an evolution and optimisation of the P&L and Balance Sheet for the Company that drove the decision.

    Year on year, Tracey’s ability to deliver improvements to the Company’s results, and her ability to read, understand and improve the commercial and financial demands of the business made the ultimate difference to shareholder value – a key element of any CEO’s position description.

    Andy Preece | Non Executive Director and Board Chair

  •  “Tracey is the epitome of empathetic leadership… her commercial acumen is unmatched, but what truly sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. She’s not just a leader but a visionary, pushing boundaries and driving change. I owe much of what I have learned in my career to Tracey”

    Sharee Campbell | CPO | Fresha

  • Tracey possesses a potent blend of strategic intelligence, deep intuition, steadfast conviction and authenticity. She is an impressive leader who works hard to deliver outcomes for any organisation she represents and empowers those lucky enough to be led by her. Tracey is a purpose-driven executive with a slew of experience and a range of initiatives she’s led particularly in the DE&I space. As a member of our advisory board, Tracey shows her sharp mind, astute commercial acumen and inherent empathy. I unreservedly recommend Tracey for her business, people and societal leadership expertise. She has the ability to see the potential in problems, to transform challenges into opportunities and make decisions from her head and heart.

    Carolyn Kerr | Co-Founder | Anthem

  • “Tracey leads with a growth mindset, an authenticity that allows commercial and community partnerships to flourish…Tracey knows how to unleash the full power of this to transform people and businesses. A truly transformative leader in every sense.”

    Kelly Duncan | Senior Marketing Leader

  • I've had the pleasure of working with Tracey as a Trustee on the Board of Diversity Works New Zealand, and also as one of the members of our organisation. I regard my interactions with Tracey amongst some of the most meaningful I have. She is a deep thinker and an inspirational leader. Fearless and joyful and compassionate, Tracey navigates the synergy between people experience and business outcomes with ease. I am consistently inspired by her passion for making a positive impact on our world.

    Tracey is a great collaborator, sounding board and mentor, and an invaluable asset to our organisation.
