TRANSITIONAL INITIATIVES - Key Persons

Gregory Irwin has spent his entire life observing and analyzing how social, cultural and environmental influences impact the way people interact with each other and their environment. The knowledge gained from this effort has been instrumental in his success across a wide variety of jobs and industries over the past 30 years. His career started with the U.S. Air Force where he learned the value of creating and utilizing cross functional tiger teams to seek out and eliminate threats. His military service was followed by operations and information technology management jobs at Lockheed Martin and Alcoa. While there he was able to significantly impact each company's financial bottom line by leading his organizations in the identification and elimination of wasteful processes as well as the efficient and effective implementation of new technology. In the years leading up to 2008, Mr. Irwin held various sales, marketing and consulting management positions at Deloitte Consulting, Oracle Corporation, Info-Power International and Signum Group. His responsibilities during that time gave him ample opportunity to increase and refine his skills at enlightening, empowering and engaging his subordinates, peers and customers. Whether it was acting as the driving force in the development of new software, teaching individuals how to embrace and capitalize on the implementation of new processes or helping companies grow their sales he always made a difference. In 2008, he founded Transitional Initiatives so he could dedicate 100 percent of his time to helping individuals and organizations improve the way they think, act and achieve.
