Managing Partner Recognized By Profiles in Diversity Journal
BOSTON, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — OGC, a law firm of seasoned general counsel and senior in-house attorneys who augment corporate legal teams and provide fractional general counsel services to early-stage companies, announced today that Managing Partner Gregory (Greg) Williamson has been recognized by "Profiles in Diversity Journal" as a Veteran Leadership Award winner for 2024.
"As I often tell people, joining the U.S. Army out of high school was the best decision I ever made," said Williamson. "It has been a great honor to serve my country, and I am proud to be named among my fellow veterans."
During his time in the military, Williamson served as an M1 Abrams Tank Commander in the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree from the University of North Florida and his Juris Doctor from the University of Florida. That laid the groundwork for his 30-year-career as a lawyer and a C-Suite executive at Fortune 1000 and public companies across industries, including the healthcare, technology, financial services and e-commerce spaces.
"In the military, leaders learn to balance the mission with looking out for their people. That kind of leadership is all about dedication, putting others first and feeling accountable for the team's well-being," said Williamson. "That's the kind of spirit I have taken with me throughout my career, and one we strive to exemplify here at OGC."
The full list of 2024 Veteran Leadership Awards winners will be recognized in the third quarter issue of "Profiles in Diversity Journal." The award honors those who dedicated a portion of their lives to serving our country in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard or Space Force.
