  "Greg's pioneering entrepreneurial spirit is inspiring. The contract we won for New Seashore to train ChinaONECall's operator/interpreters was a challenging one but Greg has fantastic delegation skills. The struggles and time demands of the new enterprise, developing strategy, and coming up with new ideas all the while facing the legal and bureaucratic hurdles of establishing a WFOE in China did not effect the fact that he was always available for consultation when I needed it. Outside of these times, he trusted me to do my job and I'm happy not to have disappointed.
  Greg's experience in working in China, his cultural sensitivity and even temperament that still allows for firm-handedness when needed makes Greg easy to work with and a natural leader for both Chinese and Western colleagues. It has been my great pleasure to have worked with Greg and would happily endorse him and his abilities in future endeavours. "
