“I worked as Greg's interim development director in FY 18/19 at the Isaacs Center. It was obvious then that people loved to work for him, and I became one of those individuals. He is someone who has led multiple social service organizations and is ardently, almost maniacally committed to the just improvement of New Yorkers' lives. An extraordinarily compassionate, ambitious, and savvy leader -- he gives 1,000% and inspires others to do the same.”
