Grieves Pryce
Confidential Career Services For Global Leaders
Established 1996. Led by Tracey Thomas, Managing Director, Headhunter, C-Suite Coach, and CV Writer.
“We create genuine optimism about what is possible, to ignite the confidence that gets you there, and to take the fear out of the most consequential career decisions you will ever make.”
OUR STORY
Built from the inside out
Grieves Pryce began in 1996 as a management buyout from KPMG Search. Tracey joined shortly after the business was established, and what started as a niche executive search and selection firm has grown into something more complete: a business that understands career management from both sides of the hiring desk.
That dual perspective is rare. Most CV writers have never sat in a hiring chair. Most recruiters have never helped a candidate rebuild their story from scratch. We have done both thousands of times across almost every sector you can name.
In 2008, we formalised what had become an organic evolution. We expanded beyond executive search into full career management: CV writing, coaching, interview preparation, and the frank conversation that senior professionals rarely find elsewhere.
By 2016, something further had shifted. The clients who were finding us, and those being referred to us, were operating at a different altitude. Board-level appointments, FTSE transitions, CEO succession, global mandates. The work we were doing had quietly outgrown the professional CV market, and the brand that had served us through those CV-focused years, Professional CV Experts, no longer reflected what we had become. We began operating under our parent brand, Grieves Pryce Global Executive Services. Not a rebrand for its own sake, but an honest acknowledgement of where the business had arrived.
our DIFFERENCE
Experience that cannot be replicated
This is a depth of understanding that only comes from nearly 30 years of sitting with people at career crossroads. The Managing Director who has just been made redundant and does not know how to talk about it. The COO who has been headhunted three times but still does not know what they actually want. The executive who is technically exceptional and completely unable to articulate why.
Working across that breadth of sectors, seniority levels, and the full spectrum of career situations produces something that qualifications rarely do: genuine instinct. An ability to hear what is not being said, and to help people find a version of their story that is both honest and compelling.
“Tracey’s understanding of what boards and executive search firms are actually looking for is unparalleled and extraordinary. She helped me articulate 20 years of achievement in a way I never could have done alone. The response to my CV changed overnight.”
