Across Asia and Greater China Greg has been involved in multiple company acquisitions, integration and subsequent board level and management of the acquired Asian companies.

Working together and alongside some of China’s largest telecommunications, internet, health media and healthcare organizations, Greg led a team from international software provider iSOFT developing and deploying health care services based on a converged service of video+social media over the internet and mobile devices.

Through this triple-play technology, this initiative entered a new era of home health care connecting the consumer in the community with their health professional and delivering healthcare knowledge via the consumer’s primary entertainment device.

Following the success of the China projects Greg went on to become divisional head of a international health technology supplier responsible for driving the companies technology and products into the areas of consumer health, pioneering internet technology, personal health records including new tools that would enable the clinician to truly deliver personalized healthcare.

Greg has consulted to, partnered with industry players and groups and established and driven his own initiatives in the areas of advance wellness, preventative care, and technology initiatives across the emerging Asian economies and traditional western world healthcare delivery systems.

In recent times Greg has been working in Asia developing and driving initiatives focused on preventative care and anti-aging strategies. From a startup position, Greg has been instrumental in driving strategy, marketing, and deployment of a high-end anti-aging facility located and integrated within an international 5-star hotel. This initiative required the development and deployment of a strategy based on regenerative, cutting-edge cell technology.

The project required Greg to lead a team of industry experts to develop a marketing, communications and delivery strategy that uses as its core enabler, stem cell technology whilst adopting both mainstream medicine and appropriate alternative and complementary techniques that consider the issues and treatment of regenerative, multi-factorial / multi-systemic chronic conditions that most doctors have great difficulty treating.

Greg strongly believes that with the arrival of cell-based technologies the stance shifts from curing the source of the problem at its core instead of removal of the symptoms, creating a new paradigm for regenerative, rejuvenating and preventative medicine. Greg’s passion in life.
