At Acosta, Greg's talent and unwavering commitment to the team rapidly earned him roles of increasing responsibility including: Vice President General Manager, Senior Vice President Meijer Team Leader, and Executive Vice President with responsibility for over 2000 associates and annual retail sales of 7 billion dollars. Based on his obvious ability to motivate and encourage others through candor and genuine concern, in 1998, Greg was selected by Acosta's CEO to chair a national culture committee. He and his team forged a core set of values and operating principles that became the foundation of the company, which is regarded as their greatest asset.

Greg has served on numerous Advisory Boards including The Clorox Company, McNeil, and Nestle, which gives him unprecedented access to dozens of the fortune 500's and their cultures.
