Bio
Murray Wheeler
My title at the time: Board President, Yale Club of Boston; Greg's: Board Vice President Greg has been an outstanding member of our Board and of our community for the fully ten years I've known him. He unfailingly contributes effectively and consistently in a variety of roles, whether taking initiative and leadership in the planning and hands-on execution of large events, in the careful coordination and planning of Boston summer undergraduate internships with non-profits, or in the dogged and thoughtful scheduling and/or conducting of scores of interviews of applicants to Yale College. Always with a positive, can-do attitude, Greg would prove an affable and productive team player in any environment in which he chose to engage.

Greg worked me to develop a global option in our faculty engagement labs at UNH. His expertise in the area of international programming is admirable. He advised our faculty and staff on the issues related to student characteristics and compatibility to global tours. It was important to our populations that these global engagements were affordable, and Greg was creative and reliable in his work with us on this issue. In addition to being knowledgeable I found him to personally care a great deal about our students and our program success.

Focused on Business Development, Strategic Partnerships and Client Engagement.

Our systems are drastically improving speed and accuracy of critical decisions while significantly reducing expenses and costly mistakes. Our clients represent the most successful and fastest growing retailers in North America, including several Fortune 500 companies; and many of the largest retail real estate brokers and developers in the U.S.My role was to bring the concept of Business Intelligence for Retail Real Estate into the spotlight and to provide insight into this technological shift in the way retail companies understand their markets and approach their business.

Hired as the senior sales/business development professional to launch a new B2B sales model within higher education. Traditionally, EF College Study Tours works directly with college faculty leading tours. My role was to elevate our client relationship from the faculty to the college or university itself. I prospected and developed relationships with senior administrators within colleges, universities, and college systems calling on Presidents, Provosts, Deans and Boards of Directors nationwide. Executed MOU's, established partnerships and engaged senior administrators within colleges, universities and statewide systems in KY, OK, CT, CO, OR, CA, NY, SD, ND, and VT within my first 18 months. I also conceived, championed and launched a new campaign to implement Short-Term Faculty Led International Programs included with freshman course programming. These programs are paid through tuition, taken for credit, and covered by financial aid. The first of these pilot programs launched in 2012.
