Gerrit was previously a Partner in the retained executive search division of a listed organisation and the largest human capital group in Africa. Following the merger of this division with the oldest retained executive search group in South Africa, he served as Partner and shareholder in that organisation until establishing his own boutique search firm, "Executive Search International" in Cape Town.
