Greg Potts's Linkedin Analytics

I have worn a lot of hats in my career. Some hats fit great, some fit like a crown of thorns. But each hat, no matter how comfortable or how challenging, has provided me with experiences, opportunities and connections that have helped shape me. Some of the most influential hats I've worn in my career have been at Amazon and Microsoft which range from being a Quality Control Analyst who measured inbound shipment defect rates, to a Program Manager who was responsible for building out a Voice of the Customer Program for Halo Devices and Products, to a Business Development Manager who, from scratch, built an entire referral network and $5M book of business in less than 1 year. And although each of these hats appears to be different in style, color and fit, they are in fact woven from similar fabrics. As an Analyst, using data to derive insights and inform decision making is applicable to any position I take. As a Program Manager, understanding how to ruthlessly prioritize, manage dependencies and manage expectations is applicable to any position I take. And as a Business Development Manager, being able to network, build relationships, earn trust and deliver top results is applicable to any position I take. I used to think having a diverse work background would be a negative. I worried a company would question my dedication or loyalty to a role. But what I've really learned in my 10 years of working is with this kind of diversity in experiences comes a strong sense of empathy for others. I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of amazing people across dozens of companies, and each person, each interaction, each project, each failure, each success…has helped shape me into the hard working, compassionate individual I am today. Now let's get to work!
