Greg Major

I am an executive IT leader with a mission to build incredible teams that create amazing software. I have over 25 years of experience in industries including insurance, online retail, security, financial services, and manufacturing. I balance people-first management with deep software, data, and enterprise architecture skills to deliver results.

What I Do

Build Teams

Three key ingredients for an incredible team are talent, respect, and communication. Naturally, every team is different because every circumstance is different. I work with organizations to build and maintain those bespoke teams.

Create Software

Creating amazing software demands passion, attention to detail, and creative thinking. Big or small, each solution needs to solve the problem and balance architectural ideals while staying on-time and on-budget. That's what I do and that's what my teams do.

Teach Others

Complementing my personal dedication to continuing education, teaching comes naturally to me. Whether one-on-one or at a full conference, I love sharing ideas and experiences with others any chance I get.

Have Fun

While I take my professional career very seriously, I strive to not take myself that way. I find peace and relaxation in my garden, at the woodworking bench, fiddling with a new electronics project, buying and selling antiques, playing guitar, and spending time with my family.
