It has been an absolute privilege working with Greg the last 7 years. Greg is my go-to person and SME for anything technology related to our suite of software solutions. He is well-spoken, knowledgeable, highly intelligent, and passionate about his work. He is also extremely hard working, organized, has natural leadership qualities, and is an overall polished professional. But above everything else, Greg is loyal and genuinely cares about his colleagues. He has always been there when I needed him and always goes the extra mile. He is an invaluable leader at Computershare and well respected by all!

I've worked alongside Greg for over a decade, first at Data-Care, and then, following acquisition, at CGS. I have found Greg to be one of the most reliable and trustworthy people I know to work with, and I have always been able to rely on him for measured and rational advice and direction on matters technical and procedural. His approach to projects / assignments shows considerable attention to detail, and his technical and industry breadth of knowledge gives confidence to all those involved. In his role as Global Lead, I've seen him step up and tackle difficult issues head on, with a long terms view and vision toward the best possible outcomes.
