Managing Director, Bozeman Technology Incubator
Bozeman, Montana
Greg is an expert at building solid foundations for successful businesses. His sales and marketing knowhow, rich technical understanding, and ability to reduce seemly complex problems into practical advice have proven invaluable in helping us build a solid foundation for growth.
By following Greg’s advice and refocusing on our sales challenges, we experienced immediate results that have led our team to better understand where our opportunities lie. Greg then helped us to begin to translate this understanding into real-world strategies that have quickly generated sales traction. I have noticed he seems to be able to draw from an endless well of ideas and has displayed an innate ability to know when to offer advice, when to coach, and when to motivate.
Greg has a way of inviting excellence into any project his is involved with. Every time I meet with him I am left with the feeling that I’ve just made huge jump forward, both personally and professionally. If given the opportunity to have Greg’s involvement in your venture, take it — and the earlier you do the better.

Working with Greg has been and continues to be very rewarding both personally, and professionally. At the earliest of interactions I found myself repeatedly noting “he gets it” and found value-add every time. Given his hands-on operational experience with multiple software startups, and steering through fundraising, venture capital, acquisitions, IPO’s, there’s rarely a situation Greg cannot simply reflect on past experience and immediately lay out a tactical plan or solution.
It’s rare that you find someone who is both an expert in engineering and a master of sales and marketing, but Greg brings it all to the table. His expertise in sales, the lifeblood of every company, and almost myopic view on either sales or product, help drive necessary discipline especially in those early years when most go astray. After successfully steering a ship and growing his latest company to over 1,000 employees, he also brings the proven methodologies and process to maximize focus and value during planning efforts. He has helped me plan for future hires to build out a world-class organization.
Working with Greg feels less like a mentoring experience, and more like bringing on another very experienced partner. He pulls up his sleeves and takes a personal interest in breaking down issues and working through solutions with great finesse. I recall some evenings where I’d receive an unexpected call just checking in on status. I am fortunate to have someone like him in my corner and would encourage others, if given the opportunity, to do the same.
