There was always a level of trust and enthusiasm that goes a long way to getting great work done. Understanding the business is a plus – and he’s got that – but having an appreciation for the efforts of others is even better. He’ll do his homework first – and articulate his POV thoroughly. Then he’ll use his personal style to get the very best concepts and execution from everyone on the team. We really enjoy working with him – and look forward to it again.”

“Greg is a great marketing talent and leader. He is challenging, far, transparent and not afraid of calculated risks. He’s diligent about “getting it right”, but recognizes the value of data AND gut instinct. Greg understands that the best brands ultimately tell a story. And when you have the right brand story, you’re able to build a connection with consumers that transcends attributes and benefits. He is a champion of big ideas. And just as importantly as championing them, he’s able to provide sage counsel on how to sell these big ideas into a tough organization. I look forward to seeing Greg put his imprint on many great brands in the future.”
