Greg Olson
“I have suffered from Meniere’s Disease the last couple of years, and numerous close relatives have suffered major hearing loss and other issues due to Otosclerosis, which runs in my mother’s family. I have been looking to become more involved in volunteer work, particularly with organizations and causes that I am truly passionate about, and the close link between AHRF’s mission and my personal experiences instantly excited me about working with the organization.”
Greg Olson brings over two decades of experience spanning engineering, management consulting, and executive leadership in strategy and analytics. Throughout his career, he
