Neil Greer
Founder and
Chief Executive Officer

Neil Greer's entrepreneurial spirit and passion for building companies that eliminate substantial customer pain points is paramount to Impact Engine, Inc.'s continued success. Neil has worked in the Media industry in online advertising and CRM solutions since 1994. His career focuses on hosted solutions and agency services for online advertising, marketing and sales force automation.

At the age of 24, Neil founded an interactive agency named VCC which he rapidly grew to one of San Diego's leading interactive agencies. He developed a blue chip client base including American Online (Digital Cities), Tribune (Signonsandiego.com), Costco Auto, Hewlett Packard, Hyatt Hotels, San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Advertising Club and several other local and national accounts.

His agency built some of the first hosted advertising solutions for local and national online newspapers; primarily for managing and serving online ads for automotive and real estate with tie-ins into the MLS, ADP and Reynolds and Reynolds mainframe systems.

While operating the interactive agency, Neil invented a system that automated lead flow from any web based lead capture system into any relational database or CRM system. The invention was eventually spun out into a venture capital firm called V2Commerce. V2 became one of the first hosted CRM companies for small business advertisers.

Under Mr. Greer's direction, Impact Engine has experienced exponential growth, launched 2 products and recently obtained the company's first round of outside financing. This recent accomplishment enables Mr. Greer to further the mission that he shares with all members of the Impact Engine team; advancing advertisers and empowering communicators through hosted advertising solutions.

Mr. Greer holds a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship from San Diego State University and an Undergraduate degree in Finance and Marketing from the University
of San Diego. He is also a member of the Young Entrepreneurs Organization (YEO). Prior to his entrepreneurial career, he worked for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) and Metlife.

He has appeared on NBC and CNNfn.com as an expert voice in technology ventures and raising venture capital. He also speaks regularly at the Entrepreneurial Management Center at SDSU in San Diego, California.
