Hi, I'm Greg.
I specialize in making difficult things easy, whether that is onboarding new users to integrate a product into their workflow, optimizing an online course for learner success, or helping graduate students and early-career faculty finding rewarding careers in industry. I see things the way newbies do.
I'm a growth-focused product person focused on PLG (product-led growth) and using effective experimentation to improve user activation, engagement, and retention. I love analytics, strategy, and enabling collaborators to do their best work. I'm especially good at making analytics simple.
I hold a Ph.D. in philosophy and was for several years a full-time faculty member in philosophy. I remain active in academic philosophy, with peer-reviewed papers forthcoming, regularly reviewing papers for top journals, and teaching courses in higher education as an adjunct instructor.
I provide consulting services in PLG, technology, product, and education. Please email me and we can have a conversation about your project and how I can help!
Career Transition Coaching
In 2021, I left my full-time position in philosophy for a non-academic career. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew the future would be brighter than the past. It had to be.
Here is my website as it was in 2019. As you can see, I had 10+ peer-reviewed publications, a teaching award, a research award, good teaching evaluations. The works. My Google Scholar profile shows lots of citations, too.
In total, I had tenure-track interviews at four places in four years. That's what all that work got me. Mine is the story of someone who did things right, and the reward just wasn't there.
It took a few agonizing years to figure out how to make a big change from my dead-end, low-pay academic position to something else. A "non-academic" job, whatever that could be.
I'm happy to provide help for other career changers! This free online course will get you started.
