Bio
Rachel Anderson
Greg and I worked together for some time after newly joining the leadership team at Postmates and he immediately proved to be a true expert in his field while working to support key initiatives during an instrumental transition period. Greg personally encouraged me to lean in to my skillsets while making further investments in myself which helped to accelerate my own development. Greg is a strategic leader, a trusted confidant; a true partner of impact and will continue to be an essential asset to any company he joins. I remain inspired by Greg’s work ethic and overall approach to DEI and look forward to the opportunity to work with Greg again in the future!

Greg specializes in turning difficult conversations into diversity competency for organizations. His experience in DEI coupled with his precision as a consultant make him effective. His story telling and authenticity make his presentations enchanting, but his strength in strategic planning empower leaders and organization to be journeying piligrims of diversity. Diversity is an obvious interest in the workplace today, but only those who are invested will make it priority. If you and/or your team have made inclusivity, equity, and diversity priority Greg is critical to your championship pedigree!
