Leadership
Seismic founder and CEO Greg Walsh’s extensive experience in managing people, processes and systems on a global scale is the result of a long and successful career in Consumer Retail, Financial Services, and Health and Life Sciences verticals. Prior to founding Seismic, he rose through the ranks in the Global Services Division at RR Donnelley. He also held executive positions at (then) Platinum Avaya Business Partner Consultedge, as well as leadership roles at ICT Group (prior to its acquisition by Sykes) and the SFA solution provider, C3i-Inc. During his time in the industry, Greg identified gaps in the channel’s service offerings. In 2010, he set out on his own, founding Seismic to bridge those gaps and help companies gain competitive advantage through cutting-edge technology delivered with top-notch customer service.
