About Me
To the Core
My entire career I have been drawn to cutting-edge technologies and how they may support student success; from recruitment and marketing to retention and persistence (and beyond!).
I started GR7 Marketing to help amazing entrepreneurs and business leaders, with services and software that I can believe in, better tell their story to the educational institutions they seek to serve.
It's Me ...
I've spent my entire career in higher education and education technology. I've decided to take what I've learned to help like-minded founders succeed by sharing this experience with their time and resource-strapped marketing and sales teams.
The Enthusiast
I've worked at 7 different institutions and companies supporting various stages of growth ... from seed round funding to IPO ... to business spin offs, brand pivots and more. I'm also an Enneagram 7 which means I'll bring my energy and enthusiasm to every engagement.
Hear From Past Colleagues
When you talk to my past colleagues my hope is that a common thread emerges; that I am:
- Focused first and foremost on supporting student success.
- I make an immediate impact.
- I foster positive relationships.
No matter the company, big or small, my team strives to build up others and to leave a positive lasting impact.
"Gil has always been a tremendous source of knowledge that I have trusted over the years. He is a fantastic leader focused on student success at the core of all he does in business. You will not find a more creative and evidence-based leader with Gil's vision to care for students' needs while providing the results the business needs. I'm glad to call Gil a business colleague but more so a friend. If you can work with or for Gil, you will never regret that decision. He is a person of extreme character and ethics that I look up too and am more so glad to have in my life."
