Seeking a change of pace, Greg began his consulting career in the late nineties and from 2003 to 2006 Greg returned to study culminating in the achievement of his Masters in Career Development in 2006. With a number of senior positions including Director of Hudson Australasia and Executive General Manager of Clarius Group, his passion for career development coupled with his expertise in business management lead to the next phase of his career.

Over the past seven years, Greg has played a pivotal role in leading deliberatepractice to the successful company it is today.
During his time as CEO and Managing Partner Greg, together with Peter Bowen and the deliberatepractice team, has led a 25 per cent year on year growth and played a pivotal role in the establishment and building of deliberatepractice’s outplacement and leadership development practices to be the key market contributor it is today.
