Greg started his ALKU career in April 2021, creating his own successful book of business while fully embodying ALKU’s Have Fun Working Hard® culture over the last three years. Through his hard work and ability to take on challenges with a headstrong mindset, he has been an instrumental part of ALKU’s Med QA Sales team, leading the team in monthly deals and leading by example as a role model for those who look up to him. With an impressive spread high, Greg is on pace to be named ALKU’s 2024 Account Manager of the Year, a highly honorable accomplishment not many easily achieve. His dedication and incredible work ethic are responsible for developing massive ALKU clients that have become cornerstones for the Med QA team. Without Greg’s ability to motivate those around him, focus on the task at hand, and grow his own desk while mentoring other developing employees, the Med QA Sales team would not be the well-oiled machine it is today. In his new role, Greg will be responsible for managing a team of five Account Managers in the Med QA space, developing the next layer of ALKU’s sales team, and growing the group into one of ALKU’s largest divisions to date. Congratulations, Greg! We are so excited to see all you accomplish in this new role!

“This one’s fun. What a ride for you, Greg. Your ALKU journey didn’t begin the conventional internship to hire route, and instead, you called this place home after some time in a different sales role. It would’ve been easy to come into the organization with pre-conceived notions, have an attitude, expect to achieve quickly, etc. Instead, you paid your dues, followed the process, and believed in your ability. You also had multiple people in your ear over the last couple of years and were unfortunate enough to land with me as your manager since January 2024. I can honestly say that the opportunity to work with you and be a participant in your development; this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my ALKU career. You have become extremely patient, poised, understanding yet skeptical (in a good way), supportive, and encouraging in the time we’ve spent together. You are the manager of this team because of your ability to draw in the trust of every new Account Manager that joins the team, and the respect of those who have been in the trenches alongside you for years. In a role where it is expected you do it all, you’ve done more. What a journey, my man – looking forward to many more years together and getting the opportunity to watch you keep climbing and achieving. Congrats, Greg!” – Senior Sales Manager, Medical Device, Zach Canto

“Gregum! Watching your growth over the past year has been nothing short of amazing to see! You stepped up at a time where QA needed you the most and that will never go unnoticed. In tandem of growing a team of four brand new Account Managers, you continued to produce for our Recruiters and lead from the front, hitting a spread high while on your Roadmap. Greg, you will take QA to new heights, and I can’t wait to see what’s to come. Congratulations!!” – Recruiting Manager, Medical Device QA, Desiree Drummond-Mayrie

“Greg! I am incredibly proud of you and the hard work you’ve put in to earn this promotion — it is truly well-deserved. From day one, you have consistently given your all, becoming a cornerstone of Med QA during some of its most successful years. Your reliability and ability to lead by example have made a significant impact. Once you stepped into a mentoring role, it was clear that you would excel, fostering the growth of other Account Managers at a remarkable pace. Your poise, intelligence, and ambition reflect the qualities of a great leader. You set high standards not only for your team but also for yourself, which is a testament to your commitment to excellence. Even when faced with challenges, you have thrived, remaining a top producer and currently in contention for AM of the Year, all while managing multiple employees. Your response to adversity has been nothing short of impressive; many have looked up to you in moments when they truly needed guidance and a leader, and you delivered with grace. I can’t help but feel emotional writing this because I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. Congratulations on this most deserved recognition — you did it!” – Sales Director, Medical Device, Kristina Kent
