While at ICM, Greg has successfully merged six financial systems into one, giving ICM unprecedented visibility over its business lines. By automating processes which were once manual, Greg has brought efficiency through building and implementing a single integrated software platform that addresses the agency’s requirements for CRM data, Booking, Financial Reporting, Projects, Submissions, Document Management, Back Office Requests, Global contact databases, Digital Media Distribution, Call Logs with Blackberry Integration, and Contract Management. Today, Greg works with industry agents and executives at ICM running operations and developing methods to further advance corporate efficiencies. At ICM, Greg continued to grow his M&A experience through experience gained during the acquisition referred by Rizvi Traverse. In 2010, Rizvi Traverse asked Greg to begin due diligence of Playboy Enterprises. By March 2011, the PBE transaction closed and Greg became responsible for restructuring several major areas of PBE encompassing the licensing and outsourcing of PBE’s Television, Digital, and IT groups. Greg’s responsibilities included the relocation and construction of PBE’s new corporate headquarters in Beverly Hills and the move and consolidation of all of PBE’s locations to one site. In 2012, Rizvi again approached Greg to conduct due diligence of SESAC, a music rights and licensing services company. Greg and his team went to work on restructuring options for the technology-burdened operation. Later in 2013, working to expand his experience in Digital Media, Greg assisted a 2013 Proveho Capital / Rovi Corporation divestiture of an online media store that services entities such as Best Buy, Target, and Toys“R”Us, and CinemaNow, with an outsourced online streaming media outlet for Motion Pictures, Television Shows, and Xbox/PlayStation Games.
