It was a pleasure to partner with Greg on several projects during our time at NBCUniversal. Greg is a dependable leader who demonstrates empathy for customers' needs. This critical trait combine with his technical competence, proper delegation and oversight of tasks allows Greg to consistently drive winning outcomes for both consumers and the business.

Greg helped the NBCU content distribution, digital products team launch several major initiatives and helped navigate through some very complex challenges. He would anticipate questions and think through possible solutions and outcomes before recommending a path forward. Greg rolled up his sleeves and dug in, no matter what the task was. I believe Greg is able to effectively manage multiple, high level/high priority projects.
