all about greg

Hi, everybody. I’m currently the vice president of product at Flurry, which provides analytics and money-making opportunities for mobile phone applications. Analytics is pretty much mandatory for anyone that takes their business seriously, and everyone likes to make money, so things have been going pretty well.

I came to Flurry through a late 2009 merger of it and the start-up I co-founded, Pinch Media. We’d been at it for a year and a half and it was obvious Flurry was the most capable competitor in our space, so we decided to merge instead of trying to beat each other senseless. Running Pinch Media was an education. While I’ve got more start-ups in me, I’m quite happy not to be CEO at the moment. A great and terrible job, simultaneously.

Prior to founding Pinch Media, I was a product manager. I previously worked for Yahoo, a direct consequence of the Right Media acquisition – primarily on the ad-serving portion of Right Media’s ad exchange. Before that, I worked at Root Markets, a mortgage-lead marketplace, and NexTag, a comparison shopping site. All extremely instructive, all in different ways.

This site’s a .ca because I am indeed Canadian, although I’m a permanent resident of and prefer the opportunities here in America. I can’t see myself leaving the New York City area any time soon. Unless I’m in the financial position to afford some capybaras. They’re majestic. One day, I will have a few, and will spend most of my time hanging out with them on my ranch.

One final note: I’ve been at this blog for a while, and my opinions on many things have changed. An entry represents what I was thinking on that particular date, and not necessarily anything more. Oh, and of course, anything written on this site represents my views, and not at all the views of whoever my employer was at the time.
