Greg Greenwood (nicknamed “Woody” since childhood) is the CEO/Executive Director of the Blackstone Entrepreneurs Network Colorado. A veteran Coloradan entrepreneur, Greg has founded several companies including those in technology, manufacturing, distribution, motorsports, retail, services and non-profit—and like all entrepreneurs, has seen a variety of successes and failures to keep him humble. Greg’s entrepreneurial energy was passed on to him by his father at the age of eight years old when he started his first business mowing yards and selling hanging baskets and bags of kindling firewood in his Little Rock, Arkansas neighborhood.
Greg most recently sold comCables in 2013, a network infrastructure manufacturer and low voltage distributor he founded in 1999, to The Audax Group, a multi-billion dollar private equity firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the founder and CEO of Idella Wines, a boutique winery in Napa Valley, California, and is the co-founder and Chairman of Colorado Thought Leaders Forum. Greg is a past board member of Colorado Companies to Watch, Sun Valley Youth Center, Here’s Life Inner City, Colorado Uplift and Racing to Save Lives. Greg is also an active angel and private equity investor as well as serves on several private company boards.
Greg is married to his wife, Tammy, of 21 years. While he is passionate about his entrepreneurial and business endeavors, his other life interests include building community relationships, investing in inner-city-at-risk youth, reading, cycling, SUP surfing and enjoying wine.
