Greg Lush, Vice-President, CIO

Greg Lush has spent his entire 28-year career working in the Service industry, and currently holds the position of Vice President and Chief Information Officer for The Linc Group. The role of CIO allows him to lead several corporate shared service functions for the organization including Education, Quality and Strategy management, Program management, and Systems and Infrastructure. Mr. Lush started in the field as a technician at 17-years-old, gaining hands-on experience with air and water balance, control systems, and variable speed drives. Over his career he has worked in several different service markets including commercial, industrial, oil and gas, chemical, and pumping.

Mr. Lush spent several years conducting service and organizing an international organization of service contractors. Some of his colleagues may refer to him as "part propeller and part piston" as he applies a pragmatic technical approach to business requirements. One of the principal driving forces in Mr. Lush's professional life is the desire to have every employee know they are making a difference. To that end he has development programs such as the Collaborative Service Management Framework; robust mobile workforce tools; and viral education such as LincTube (an internal version of YouTube) to empower and compel employee behavior at the point of service. Several awards have been bestowed on The Linc Group as a direct result of these efforts, with the most notable recognition coming from Microsoft. The Linc Group is a two time recipient of the Microsoft Customer Excellence awards, their highest customer achievement. Mr. Lush is a sought-after industry expert and speaks frequently at conferences and trade events around the world.
