Salt Lake City’s Managing Partner & Team

Salt Lake City, Utah, October 11th, 2023 – This month we’re shining the spotlight on our Salt Lake City office!
Led by Managing Partner Joseph Tibolla, our Salt Lake City office continues to grow and expand into year 3 of operation. Each of Gravity’s offices is unique and although you will see similarities, we strive to choose locations that will benefit our employees and enable their involvement in their local communities.
Joe was born and raised in Utah and moved around during the start of his professional career after graduating from the University of Utah. Although he enjoyed discovering new places, all roads led back to Salt Lake City, Utah. Joe explains that Utah has a diverse landscape, from a personal and recreational standpoint of course, but also a great place to be from a business perspective.
Alongside Joe, the Salt Lake City office is a team of 4 hard-working and driven individuals who love calling Utah home. This team combines their strengths in sales, delivery and recruiting to surpass client expectations and help deserving individuals grow their careers.
Compassion is a core value at Gravity IT, and Joe fosters this by having his team engage with the Salt Lake City community through volunteering, fundraising, and supporting local charities and scholarships. Joe looks forward to hosting an in-office competition every year to see who can donate the most to the Utah Food Bank during their annual drive.
The Importance of Leadership
At Gravity IT, CEO Rick Connolly and COO Steve Dettor, strive to grow and expand the Gravity name, while keeping its core values, missions and culture true to its name. While expanding into new markets across the United States, they understand culture and leadership are two of the most unique aspects of Gravity. This is why each Managing Partner that joins Gravity, holds importance in the same values, helping grow the brand but keeping the heart of the business intact. While embracing the same values, each managing partner also brings their unique past experiences and personality to the table.
When asked about his leadership style, Joe shared that one of the best parts of his job is celebrating his employee’s wins. Joe explains this is the Gravity way, “We make it a point to celebrate both small and large wins often. Sometimes, it is as simple as a company-wide email highlighting a win or a job well done. Locally, we celebrate big wins, promotions, etc. with team lunches and happy hours.” Joe also shared with us that every Friday, each member of the SLC team gets a chance to reflect on the week, giving the team an opportunity to end on a positive note.
The Team also had a few words they wanted to share.
My favorite part about working here is that everyone celebrates everyone’s success! When I first got promoted to Sr. Talent Agent the team planned a surprise happy hour. It was so fun and unexpected! I am so grateful to be on a such a supportive and encouraging team! Joe does a great job at fostering this culture and celebrating our success. – Alexa Pautrat
Joe is the best ! He always has a positivity and optimism about him that is so needed in a business that has so many ups and downs. He has been a great mentor while a recruiter and as I transition into sales. I’m never afraid to come to him with questions or concerns and always walk away with a good plan after those conversations. – Lila Seirsdale
