Gregg’s a Management Consultant turned Product Manager turned CEO – though I believe he’s a Product Marketer at heart. One of the most resourceful, yet and thoughtful and humble people I’ve ever worked with. He has the ability to easily transcend the areas of strategy and execution, in multiple disciplines simultaneously while always keeping an eye on internal culture and team. Gregg focuses on empowering the team, streamlining the product and improving processes to increase velocity and build scale – He’s never one to give into the temptation of solving urgent yet systemic issues with short-term bandaids or people alone. Gregg’s an excellent networker, continuously crowdsources ideas and solutions and always encourages his team(s) to benchmark with peers and against competitors.
– Very strong in cross-department alignment. Ensuring all at Invoca understand the near and long-term strategy and how their work fits in and adds value. – Genuinely cares about his employees and their well being. Gets the most out of people by allowing them to balance work and home needs. – Extremely intelligent and experienced in SaaS but does not dominate conversations or provide every tactical next steps. Gives employees autonomy in more of a coaching/steering role and doesn’t overly harp on failures.
Authentic, experienced, driven – people first leader. One of the best C-level execs that I have worked with throughout my career. He walked into a challenging environment at Invoca and has been able to completely turn a lack luster company into a rocket ship driving 100% increase in employees and 50%+ growth in the past 2.5 years. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Gregg for many more years to come.
Gregg has a very sincere way of motivating the team to do their best and exceed goals
Building consensus Trusting those around him to make key decisions
