EMG/Gravity Media has announced appointments to its new Executive Leadership Team, representing all countries and group functions. The announcement follows the recent news of the group’s merger, creating one of the largest and most significant broadcast-technology and production companies in the world.

EMG/Gravity Media CEO Shaun Gregory: “The collective vision [of the Executive Leadership Team] will be instrumental in steering EMG/Gravity Media through the exciting opportunities that are ahead following our merger.”

The new team members are CFO Warwick Lynchas, Chief Transformation and M&A Officer Stéphane Vermersch, and Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer Sean Seamer.

The company says he plays a pivotal role in ensuring the financial stability of the integrated business and championing sustainable growth.

In the role of chief transformation and M&A officer, Vermersch will lead EMG/Gravity Media through a period of dynamic change, overseeing strategic initiatives to drive operational efficiency, organizational agility, and innovation. Previously, he was CFO of EMG Group.

New Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer Seamer will be key to shaping the company’s market presence and growth trajectory.
