Greg Worrell


CEO, Scholastic Education

“Four weeks before I started the job, I began working with PrimeGenesis to onboard me, starting with a half-day meeting. We developed a 100 Day plan that we executed week by week. Not only was this imperative for a first time CEO like myself, it was critical for someone leading a company that was merging four distinctly different cultures. And this was the very best thing we did, and we did it early”

Jan Mathiesen

CEO Atrenne Integrated Solutions

“I appreciated your confidentiality, and being a useful and trusted sounding board throughout the process. There were several times you went above and beyond the normal call of duty to give us what we needed, more than what we asked for.  PrimeGenesis’ commitment to working with me, as an HR business partner, was a key to success, in my view. We were all one team working toward the same result”

Paul Edwards
