Greg is the CEO and 100% owner of Venice Brands, which he founded in 2018. He has been intimately involved in the creation and management of each company in our portfolio, sitting on the board of each company and having played the CEO role for several of them at times. He also typically leads the capital raising efforts, both debt and equity.

He is also the owner of Willsey & Company, which own both majority and minority equity positions in numerous businesses in the food, beverage, fitness, pet, agricultural and personal care industries. Willsey & Company typically provides some or all of the seed capital when Venice Brands creates a new company, while also making select growth capital investments and acquisitions outside of the Venice Brands portfolio.
