About Greg

I'm an MBA and MS in Environment grad from the Stanford GSB ('22), here to help prospective MBAs focused on climate & the environment or who are applying from overseas. At Stanford, I was deeply involved in interdisciplinary sustainability initiatives, from being selected for a Botha-Chan fellowship and Stanford GSB Impact Founder award for a climatetech venture, to being selected for an E-IPER Collaboration Grant for sustainability research and publishing research via Stanford's Sustainable Finance Initiative. I've been coaching for the past six years, and the people I've worked with have been admitted to Fulbright and Chevening scholarships and top-10 schools for MBA, Master's, and dual-degree programs. All that to say, I'm a coach with a global and impact-focused perspective. I'm a passionate environmentalist who has traveled across the world on sustainability and environmental projects, from Bhutan to Ecuador to the Marshall Islands to Mongolia and Arctic Canada. From the Boston area originally, I double majored in Economics and Environmental Policy at Boston University before starting my career in management consulting in the Energy & Utilities sector, where my projects helped accelerate the renewables transition in the U.S. energy sector. I was then awarded a Princeton in Asia fellowship and spent three years leading climate finance programs for the eco banking team of a commercial bank in Mongolia while also running an air pollution-focused social enterprise. I then returned to the U.S. for an MBA/MS in Environment and Resources at the Stanford GSB to continue to explore my passion for the environment and social impact. Since completing the MBA/MS, I've continued to work on ventures that catalyze technologies and capital to decarbonize the planet.
