Q&A With Greg Athas:

What is your focus at Credera?

Client delivery, helping grow our Chicago office, and leading our go-to-market strategy for Credera’s cloud and engineering service area.

How would you describe your approach to leadership?

I start by establishing the “why” and “what” of a project, so outcomes and goals are clear across the team. I then ensure my team is supported through empowerment, trust, and hands-on coaching.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned in your career so far?

I came from a highly technical background, and it has become very clear to me that technology alone is insufficient to solve most problems. Technology is only a tool, and you need to weigh its value as an amplifier of the capabilities of your client and teams as well as how it can bring delight and remove friction from customers’ lives.   

What are you most excited about now that you’re a part of the Credera team?

I’m always looking for opportunities to improve my knowledge and Credera has amazing talent across all levels of experience. I’m eager to learn from my colleagues as well as share my experiences as we solve complex customer challenges.
