  1. Congratulations on your great career with the IBJ. You have done a fantastic job of navigating a rapidly changing environment. You have positioned the IBJ for successful growth. Enjoy some retirement time, and look forward to your next venture. 👍

  2. Greg, thought I would share my note to you of a few days ago in this comment section.

    Noting that the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of “retire” does not represent your future, then you will most assuredly find my definition much more apropos:
    RE-TIRE is a hyphenated word: you just put on more rubber and you go again.

    As for your “detox period.” I predict it will be an abbreviated one.

  3. Best wishes as you move into your next phase. You and your team have made IBJ one of my top sources of business and industry news for the region. I am in my second career, having more fun than ever. Can’t wait to see where you land! Write a guest column about post-retirement reinvention. Lots of us are doing it these days!

  4. Greg, Words escape me as I ponder your career and advancement from the “radio days” to print publication to a complete engagement of digital media that has truly positioned the IBJ for a successful future. A friend shared something with me when I departed my role as President and GM of a local broadcast property: The psychologists have a term, which I can’t remember, which has to do with that good feeling people get from knowing something good is present–even if they never make use of it. An example is Chicagoans who feel really good about Lake Michigan’s presence, even if they never go near it. They feel their community’s identify is enhanced by it. That’s the way I’ve felt about your presence at IBJ Media–the presence of uncommon diligence with a clear and broader view of values and, most of all, integrity. I am certain you know how uncommon all that is from the periodic tolls it exacts. You’re leaving makes me heart sick, but you leave your position in good and capable hands while you move forward to write some new chapters in your life. I look forward to your future successes.

  6. Thank you for a pleasant general news alternative to the deservedly-dying Indianapolis Star! Assuming Indianapolis Business Journal retains local ownership and control, it will continue to have a closer connection to the people of Indianapolis than Gannet could ever dream of. Best wishes on your retirement.

  7. Thanks Greg, for your leadership and guidance of what has become “essential reading” for those of us who care about Indy! you’ve earned this chance to step away and ponder what’s next, but don’t stay away too long and don’t go far–we need your wisdom and perspective.
    Peace.

Your go-to for Indy business news.
