Gi Group Holding celebrates 25 years of innovation and constant evolution on the labor market

Gi Group Holding, one of the largest human resources companies worldwide, celebrates today a quarter of a century full of achievements, evolution and innovations in the labor market. With its 25th anniversary, the company announces investments worth 100 million euros for the next two years and estimates revenues of 6 billion euros by 2024.

In 1998, Stefano Colli-Lanzi, at the time a consultant, turned the new regulations on the Italian market into an opportunity to enter the world of HR by launching the first Italian HR company. 25 years later, he is at the helm of one of the leading global HR services and consulting companies, Gi Group Holding, with revenues estimated at €4,174,293 for the end of this year. Its constant growth, even during the most turbulent periods of this quarter of a century, such as the pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, has led to an increase in turnover from 1,581 million euros in 2015 to over 3.6 billion euros in 2022.

“Work has the power to generate invaluable personal and social value, the Italian mentality underpins our organization and is reflected in the Fondazione Gi Group for Sustainable Work. Sustainable work means creating living conditions that support people so that they remain in work throughout their working lives, without compromising the ability of future generations to enter or remain in the labor market.”, points out Stefano Colli-Lanzi, CEO of Gi Group Holding

Throughout the company’s history, strategic investments and M&A operations have advanced its capacity for growth and resilience. Thus, last fall, Gi Group Holding announced its 50th acquisition – The Bridge, an HR technology consultancy focused on building and expanding digital capabilities for multinationals – and today, international revenues contributes approximately 53% (47% in Italy) of the Group’s revenues.
