Gartner Expanding in Fort Myers, Creating 400 New Jobs Over 5 Years

On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Scott announced information technology company Gartner will be expanding again in Fort Myers, creating 400 jobs in the next five years.

Gartners expansion, creating 400 more jobs in Fort Myers, is great news for Florida families, Scott said. Gartner considered moving to other states, but chose Florida because of its perfect climate for business. Florida has created more than 563,000 private-sector jobs since December 2010 and we are thrilled that Gartner is creating even more opportunities for families in our state to succeed.

Gartner is honored to have the state of Florida as a strategic partner, sharing our vision for economic growth and expansion, said Chris Lanford, the executive vice president and CFO of Gartner. We look forward to adding new talent to our growing workforce in the local area.
