Andrew Copps | VP HR / Chief Human Resources Officer at Enerpac

Greg Troy engaged with me as a personal coach for eight months during a turbulent time at my company in my position as Chief Human Resources Officer. I had been with the company for 18 plus years, but only served as its CHRO for 2 years.

From the beginning, Greg “walked in my shoes,” as we crafted strategic goals and deadlines to my organizational responsibilities. He helped me tremendously to balance the myriad demands on the position. In particular, Greg’s insight with Leadership Teams and Boards of Directors was especially appreciated as he gave me examples of his past experiences that I could try with my own leadership style. I feel I am stronger and more confident as a key leader because of my association with Greg.


Greg provides dialogue, challenging questions and accountability to the coaching engagement. I can’t thank him enough in giving me his time and talent to build a “better me.”

Brittany IsherwoodPresident at Burke Aerospace

I am proud to endorse Greg Troy as an Executive Coach and Trusted Advisor. Greg and I met in a turbulent time at the end of COVID-19 and just prior to economic challenges in our Aerospace manufacturing company. As President, I was thrown with many simultaneous changes in employee retention, turnover, economic supply chain shortages and leadership gaps in my organization. Greg was there to listen and provide weekly feedback as I navigated these roadblocks. His sound advice and solid leadership experiences gave me insight that made be a better leader and strategist for our company.

Greg balances change management theory with social style assessments to give a leader knowledge and skills to improve business performance. It starts with building leadership credibility and holding team members accountable. When accountability is not a key driver in the culture, Greg does not hesitate to motivate a leader to step up and demonstrate what accountability means.
I want to thank Greg for his partnership and commitment to my growth. I am a better person because of his confidence in me.

Greg and I were introduced in the summer of 2022 when I asked my senior management for an outside executive coach to help me with leadership development, executive presence, communications, and improved organizational visibility.

Greg and I met weekly for six months, and he helped me to navigate organizational resistance and personal career challenges. He started our partnership by discussing my career goals and developing action plans to facilitate career growth and overcome current and future issues.

Greg constantly challenged me to be more confident, and I learned to balance organizational negativity and complacency with positive approaches to accountability. He kept me highly motivated and steadfast in seeking personal improvements and career growth. As a result, I recommend Greg as an executive coach and trusted advisor.

Sussane Bond | Revenue Growth & Customer Success

In my position, I've met hundreds of great HR leaders and Greg is one at the top of the list.
I met Greg a couple of years ago, after he acquired our TalentSpace solution. In all transparency, his team had hit some issues that were preventing them from implementing the solution to meet Greg's vision.

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Greg rallied the teams and set up a face to face where we all collaborated on what was needed to get Kaman to success. That was a tough meeting for my team and I but Greg's leadership, his passion and his communication style enabled the teams to really roll up their sleeves to architect the best possible outcome.

As a client, HR leader and human being - Greg earns my highest recommendation.
