Greg Meeks’ career didn’t start with a title. It started with grit.
Cutting his teeth in strategic sourcing, Greg soon stepped into startup territory, co-building an eCommerce venture where hard work, smarts and teamwork resulted in a system that delivered real value to clients. The exposure sparked a lifelong interest in technology, leadership and execution. That curiosity drove him through an MBA at UCLA, and eventually into the highly regulated world of mortgage banking. Leading large-scale initiatives, post-M&A integrations, and building a PMO from the ground up for banks like BoA and Capital One.
But it was in SaaS, specifically the complex B2B world of mortgage origination software, where Greg made his deepest mark.
Rewiring Onboarding as a Revenue Engine
In his 11-year journey with a leading SaaS provider, Greg scaled the Professional Services and Implementation team from 60 to over 200, while improving EBITDA. His scope expanded across eight products, a new POS GTM, and acquired platforms like CRM and IDP (Intelligent Document Processing), and Business Intelligence (BI). He delivered results where it matters most:
- Reduced time-to-value (TTV)
- Increased Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Professional Services (PS) revenue
- Boosted onboarding efficiency
The metrics only tell half the story. Greg changed how the company thought about onboarding. Not as a necessary cost center, but as a strategic driver of growth. “Onboarding is the first promise you keep,” he says. “It sets the tone for adoption, expansion, retention, and client promotion.”
Leadership with an Engineer’s Eye and a Mentor’s Heart
Greg’s not a flashy operator. He’s a methodical, metrics-first builder who thinks in systems. He’s known for process optimization, empowering cross-functional teams, and building cultures of accountability. He led the creation of a continuous improvement program where team members pitched ideas, quantified business impact, and executed changes in prioritized order.
He also mentors leaders to think like strategists, not firefighters. “Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things,” he explains, channeling Drucker and data in equal parts.
The Moment That Changed Everything
After leaving DMT, Greg didn’t plan to become a tech advisor to entrepreneurs. It happened over lunch. While discussing world events with a few friends, he asked how they were leveraging AI to improve their businesses. The answers: “I don’t have time to figure that out” and “I’d like to, but don’t know where to start”.
The lightbulb? Successful entrepreneurs are often too busy running their business to discover what tech could do for them. And they don’t want to hear it from a sales rep.
So Greg started helping. “I come in not to sell, but to listen. I ask about their goals, where their teams spend time, and provide a recommended roadmap of quick-wins and longer-term AI solutions that save expense, improve customer experience and enable growth without adding staff.”
Don’t Build. Buy Smart.
Greg isn’t a cheerleader for always developing your own custom AI solutions. He’s a business-first evaluator who stays current with emerging technologies and knows the tools because he uses them. He once patched together more than a dozen internal systems to run his onboarding and professional services org. It worked but now there are better solutions that exist almost out-of-the-box.
He’s demoed the products and attended conferences to meet end users. “Now you don’t need to build something from scratch,” he asserts. “The tools are already out there, and they’re much cheaper than building your own.”
That realization fuels his current model: Listen. Evaluate. Recommend. Execute. Whether advising founders or Fortune 50s, Greg bridges the gap between business need and available tech, without the hype.
Client Empathy Meets Operational Precision
What makes Greg different is his dual view. He’s been the vendor and the client. He understands pain points from both sides and builds teams obsessed with value delivery. Whether for regional credit unions or national banks, Greg adapts solutions to the unique language, priorities, and time constraints of each user.
“Adoption isn’t about tech,” he says. “It’s about relevance. If people can’t see value in the solution, they won’t use it.”

He’s not guessing. He’s already done it.
