Bio
Mike Swierenga
Working with Greg means having an extremely talented software engineer, accomplished CTO, and excellent collaborator all in one co-worker. Greg excels at designing software of many kinds, and has a superb ability to think about problems and systems at every level of technology or business. Though he would be an indispensable leader as an engineer alone, when working with Greg, he served as the critical force to drive the entire technical side of the business. He rapidly grew his expertise in data warehousing, web application development, and marketing as the co-founder and technical leader of both the Incipia marketing agency and Xyla software product. Greg is a driven leader. He has proven his ability to effectively manage and coordinate a large breadth of processes and initiatives. He oversaw all of the business's critical technology and worked hard for seamless communication with team members at each layer to keep technology, development, operations, finances, and marketing in sync. In addition, Greg is invariably organized, a careful planner, and great communicator. His personality and style encourages collaboration for planning and helps each team member build a shared perspective of each aspect of the system. His technical mastery, sharp mind, considerate ear, and attention to detail give him an outstanding ability to blueprint software ideas for each section of the business and then continuously shape and refine ideas with colleagues. Without Greg's expertise, these ideas would not be able to take shape. He is truly a valuable teammate and leader.

As both a manager and developer, Greg has the ability to see the potential in any situation. As a developer, he has clear product vision and ability to communicate that coupled with a clean coding style. No matter how undefined the task, he approaches the problem with an open mind and a readiness to find a solution. He also genuinely enjoys working and teaching others -- as a data scientist, my development knowledge was scarce at best and he was a patient and motivating teacher. Additionally, he is, by far, the most empathetic manager I have ever had. This management style fosters an unparalleled trust and understanding with those reporting to him. It was a genuine pleasure working with him and reporting to him.
