President Greg Linnemanstons
"If you're going through hades, keep going."
"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."
Greg has been at the helm of Weidert Group for nearly 25 years, and he’s still in the room for every initial client engagement. That’s deliberate. The conversation about where a company’s growth is actually stalling is the one that determines whether everything after it works, and Greg has had that conversation with several hundred industrial companies.
Before Weidert Group, he spent 18 years in marketing and general management roles at Fortune 500 companies including Pillsbury and H.J. Heinz, and on the B2B side with manufacturers of disposable goods. That range shapes how he reads a business. He is as comfortable in a P&L review as in a positioning discussion, and he tends to push clients toward the harder question behind the one they ask.
Greg led Weidert’s transition to 100% employee ownership, which changed how the agency relates to client outcomes: every person on a program has a financial stake in whether it produces revenue. He holds an M.B.A. from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and a B.A. in Economics from Lawrence University.
He is a frequent speaker and podcast guest on industrial growth strategy, marketing and sales alignment, and employee ownership.
