Bio
Shelby Barnes
If I could have just one lifeline during a crisis, Greg Wilson would be the person I would call. During my time leading communications for Intellectual Ventures, Greg worked closely with my team and our leadership to navigate a lot of unchartered and complicated territory. In addition to being calm, rational, creative and unflappable in the face of high-stakes issues, Greg also brings wisdom and bravery to every situation. Many times he'd offer an unpopular view in order to get us to think differently, and inevitably his counterintuitive approach would plant the seeds for a new course of action. Everyday I recruit lessons Greg has taught me. And, he's fun to work with on top of all of that!

Greg has partnered with me on several PR projects over the years, and he is truly a publicist's publicist -- his ability to develop unique media relations concepts, strategize and execute on critical media relations is unparalleled.

Best boss that I ever had. Simple as that. Greg was a tremendous mentor to me during my time at Levick Strategic Communications. He was vital to both my professional and personal growth and I'm proud to say that I have modeled my management style (both with internal teams and client relationships) on his. He is a true professional and trusted adviser.
