Prior to founding RSG, Greg led KE Tube, Inc., a Massachusetts-based family-owned steel tubing business, through a strategic and highly successful multi-year unwind. As President and VP of Operations, he safeguarded the company’s financial strength, streamlined its processes, and delivered a 95% return on its third-party valuation to shareholders in Q1 2020—just before the onset of the pandemic. His meticulous approach included a 9-workstream closure strategy, margin optimization, and asset sales that outperformed broker estimates.
