Bespoke Partners Recruits CEO for Gravity
March 31, 2025 – San Diego, CA-headquartered Bespoke Partners has assisted in the recruitment of Tyler Davey as the new CEO of Toronto-based Gravity (IGM Technology Corporation), a cloud-based financial and disclosure management platform for state and local governments. Gravity is backed by Lead Edge Capital. The search was led by Kristie Nova and Jenny Gray. “Gravity is transforming how government agencies manage financial reporting, replacing outdated and manual processes with automation and efficiency,” said Dan Lynn, partner at Lead Edge Capital. “With Tyler’s leadership and deep expertise in scaling technology businesses, Gravity is well-positioned to accelerate its growth and continue delivering innovative solutions that enhance transparency and financial management for agencies throughout the U.S. We look forward to supporting Tyler and the Gravity team in this next phase.”
“Gravity has quickly established itself as a critical partner for government agencies, providing a platform that enhances financial transparency and operational efficiency,” said Paul Colangelo, chairman of the board at Gravity. “Under Tyler’s leadership, the company is well-positioned to scale its impact and bring its innovative solutions to even more agencies across North America. As financial reporting requirements continue to evolve, Gravity’s role in supporting governments with cutting-edge technology will only become more essential. I look forward to working with Tyler and the team to drive this next stage of growth.”
With over 25 years of experience in the technology sector, Mr. Davey has a proven track record of scaling high-growth organizations and driving innovation. He was previously CEO of Alcumus’ North American businesses, acquired by EcoOnline in 2023. At both Alcumus and EcoOnline, Mr. Davey transformed the businesses, significantly increasing revenue, acquiring multiple companies, and establishing both as leaders in the EHSQ software space.
Under Mr. Davey’s leadership, Gravity will accelerate product innovation, expand its customer base, and strengthen its market position as the go-to platform for government financial and disclosure reporting.
“I am inspired by what Gravity has built in such a short time—a platform that enables government agencies to communicate financial data with clarity and confidence,” said Mr. Davey. “As a citizen, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for officials to explain how tax dollars are spent. When I saw Gravity’s financial reports, I was blown away by their quality and depth. At a time when trust and transparency in government are more important than ever, I knew immediately that I wanted to be part of this mission.”
“Gravity fills a crucial gap where traditional ERPs leave off by automating financial statement preparation, budget planning, and compliance reporting, we help agencies improve accuracy, reduce costs, and enhance transparency,” Mr. Davey added. “Our mission is to provide governments with the modern tools they need to drive financial accountability and better engage with their communities.”
Gravity is a cloud-based financial and disclosure management platform, empowering governments to engage transparently with citizens. By simplifying complex financial operations, Gravity enables agencies to efficiently manage and disclose public funds, fostering accountability and trust.
