Greg was an industry analyst with Dell’Oro Group from 1998 to 2011 during which time he created and/or managed approximately half of the company’s research programs.

All of these programs were at the forefront of market research and were standards for quantifying market shares and understanding technology shifts. He has also held several positions in high technology sales finance and operations, corporate finance, and corporate planning and development.
