About Greg Satell

Back in the ’90′s, post-Soviet Europe was being transformed from a forgotten place behind the Iron Curtain to one of the most dynamic, fast growing regions of the world.  They were high on enthusiasm and ability yet short of expertise and so were eager to bring the top talent from the West to help them.

Unfortunately, none of those people were available, so I came instead.  Since I first arrived in Poland in 1997 I’ve  done just about everything in media and advertising you can think of.  At one time I owned the license for Rolling Stone magazine in Poland (the magazine somehow never got launched, but hey! it was an experience),  started a billboard business in Ukraine and even won an Effie! (The Effie was easier than the Ukrainian billboards)

After years of moving east (Poland, Russia and Ukraine), I finally decided to go south, to Turkey, where I am now Strategic Director and Head of the Knowledge Management Center at ZenithOptimedia.
