Kearney Alumni Podcast

Gregory Ogorek Paris, 2000–2003 Senior Manager, Communications, Media & Technology

 

Paris alumnus Gregory Ogorek (’03) is proud to be called the “crazy French” because he is always outside of his comfort zone, pushing to make it even in the most complex environments. While he is the chief operating officer of one of Canada’s fastest-growing medtech companies, eSight Eyewear, which is backed by Canada’s largest venture capital firm, he still finds time to give back. In his spare time, Greg volunteers in Toronto’s food shelters and serves them in true consulting fashion. The interview was conducted by Kearney’s lead partner for innovation Eric Gervet, who knows Gregory well from their time together at Kearney but also through their weekly Instagram updates.
