Greg started the company that would become Eli Global in 1991 while he was a student at Yale. He graduated with an economics degree in 1991 and by the year 2000, the company he'd bootstrapped to build had $5 million in revenue—all with no outside equity capital.
"We hire great leaders and step out of their way," says Lindberg. Eli Global companies are autonomous and independent. Eli's corporate headquarters, under Greg Lindberg's the leadership, is small and will stay that way. "We don't want our businesses looking to 'HQ' for leadership," he says. "We want to empower leadership thinking at all levels: sales person as leader, telemarketer as leader, customer service rep as leader."
