Gregory Landis is a Chief Operating Officer at Premier Trailer Leasing. He possess expertise in sales management, operations management, real estate, account management, strategic planning and 7 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "From 1993 to 2008, at XTRA Lease, I was either working in the same management group as Greg Landis as a contemporary or reported to him directly in his position as Vice President of the Western Region. At all times, I found Greg to be a consummate professional in all his activities. While this is a strong statement, I feel comfortable making it, having spent forty years in various forms of transportation/equipment management/sales/operations and twenty-three years working for the same company as Greg did. Several highlights of his experience – basically was hired at entry level and progressed through both sides of the company, both Operations and Sales, into mid-level regional management positions and finally arriving at a national level Vice President position. While doing so, Greg was respected both by his peers and by upper management. His direct reports were well hired, well trained and well led. He successfully transitioned from a regional operational leadership role back into a sales leadership job, which is rarely done in the culture at most asset-based leasing companies. This gave him a skill-set that served him well when he took the step to become the Western Region VP. His predecessor had held that job for over twenty-five years, so it was not “an easy act to follow”. Plus, shortly after taking on the job, he had to merge two very different regions and double his responsibilities as XTRA closed out another regional management group. This task was handled successfully and in a timely fashion and he then managed the entire West Coast until his decision to leave XTRA for a new venture. In the event anyone is considering interviewing or hiring Greg, I would gladly entertain reference inquiries, either on-line, on the phone or in writing. He is one of the best leaders I have known, a sterling individual personally and about as smart as they come w/o intimidating employees he works with. While I might not want him to take out my appendix (degree is in business, not medicine), I can unequivocally recommend Greg for any position that fits his background and skill-set."
