Bio
Julie Lintner
Gregg Smith is creative entrepreneur that knows how to get the job done and make things happen. I have worked as a peer to Gregg and more recently reported to Gregg at KnowledgeLake for 12+ years. Gregg was a key leader at KnowledgeLake and helped build the Professional Services organization from the ground up. Gregg has a very charismatic personality and is a natural leader. His enthusiasm spreads quickly to his team and from my experience, his team respected him and loved to work for him. Gregg is unique because he has a technical background and a very high technical aptitude yet he is a visionary and a natural at business and building a business. Gregg likes to think

Gregg is a highly experienced and successful technology executive and entrepreneur. Gregg was always an excellent mentor and sounding board for me when we teamed together to develop go-to-market strategies, product launch plans, demand generation plans and corporate messaging and value proposition platforms. Above all else, Gregg is a caring and thoughtful executive who carries himself with high integrity and puts his employees and teammates success before his personal objectives.
