The Leadership Behind the Firm

Having advised executives in both fully and partially liberalized energy markets, Gravert-Jenny is also a trusted deal facilitator in buy-side and sell-side deals—particularly in fast-growth sectors like renewables, tech startups, and infrastructure ventures.

“We work where change happens,” she explains. “And we deliver when others hesitate.”

GJP’s search mandates cover the full spectrum of the energy sector, from exploration and production to renewable infrastructure. The firm places senior executives and specialists in roles across commercial, operational, technical, and financial disciplines. Whether it's placing a CFO for a wind energy fund or a trading expert for a commodities desk, each mandate is tailored and global in scope.

Management Audits & Organizational Restructuring
GJP offers customized leadership audits and HR due diligence—essential tools in mergers, turnarounds, and high-growth scenarios. Led by senior partners with firsthand industry experience, these services help companies evaluate management potential, align organizational design, and support change initiatives.

Behind every bold energy move, there’s a sharp mind—and GJP put them there. We broker talent and deals across trading floors, boardrooms, and breakthrough technologies.

An Industry Unlike Any Other
Few sectors are as vital—or as volatile—as energy. It defines the global economy, influences geopolitics, and sits at the core of the climate challenge. From energy independence to digital transformation, the pace of change requires leaders who are visionary, agile, and deeply informed.

Delivering When It Matters Most
At its core, GJP International thrives on complexity. The firm takes on challenging mandates—those requiring not just recruitment expertise, but also strategic vision and stakeholder understanding. They go beyond matching candidates with roles to forge long-term leadership partnerships that deliver sustained value.

“We’re not just about placements,” Gravert-Jenny notes. “We help shape the future leadership of the energy industry.”
