Bio
David M Olsen
I worked closely with Greg on the Johnson Controls (Tyco) Home Automation project for ADT international. Greg is a tireless worker, but beyond his excellent work ethic, his combination of technical skills and marketing insights are some of the strongest I ever worked with. Greg, was a great team member that was easy to work with while still pushing this project forward. Greg's insights into the competition, the market and technical aspects of where we should take this project were gleaned from first, his experience, and in the areas where this wasn't applicable, he was tenacious and flexible in finding other sources of data to help build our plan. I cannot recommend Greg enough to anyone that is interested in moving a project or business forward. He has great experience, great work ethic and is a strong team member.

Greg is a great leader that empowers and challenges his direct reports. I reported to Greg for 2.5 years at Rogers and learned from him on a daily basis. He is extremely knowledgable about the industry, the company and the market making him "the go to person" for any strategic advice. Greg helped me build short and long term career goals that ultimately assisted me to progress within the organization and then decide to pursue additional education.
