Gregg has credentials as a classic artistic "creative" - he does illustration and improvisational comedy -- and as a seriously creative entrepreneurial business professional. Fraley worked with Warner Cable's QUBE interactive television project in the early 80s, leading production teams that won Emmys and cable's ACE award for innovation. His entrepreneurial career includes senior management and/or ownership positions in several software companies and a qualitative research firm. He was a founder of Med-E-Systems, a software firm that developed the first wireless prescription system for physicians, "Smart Scripts." That company went public in the late 90's.
Currently he's CEO of Gregg Fraley Innovation. GFi provides training, facilitation, and innovation project management services, including the ground breaking Innovation MoshPit. GFi is building on the pioneering work developed by KILN Ideas, Ltd, where he was a founding partner.
