Greg has spent 30 years leading digital transformation across Canadian insurance and financial services. As President of Opta Information Intelligence, he grew the business into Canada's largest property data aggregator, serving every major Canadian P&C insurer, before leading its 2022 sale to Verisk (NASDAQ: VRSK), where he continued as Managing Director of Verisk Canada.
He's a recognized leader in property intelligence, data, analytics, and insurance technology. In 2009 he introduced iClarify™ to the Canadian insurance market, a solution that set a new benchmark for insurance-to-value (ITV) accuracy and desktop property validation, and remains an industry standard today. His impact earned recognition as one of the Top 30 Most Innovative Business Leaders by Insights Success in 2017.
Much of Greg's career has been spent inside private-equity-backed organizations, which means he's lived the pressures, the pace, and the strategic trade-offs that growth-stage companies actually face. He founded OpticIntel to bring that experience to a wider set of leaders, on their terms.
