JGD Strategies LLC

JGD Strategies was formed in early 2009 to provide consulting services to organizations in the automation day-to-day business processes, with a specialization in the areas of Talent Management and Compensation.

The founder and Managing Consultant of the company is Greg Darnley. An engineer by training (Masters of Electrical Engineering, University of Louisville), Greg has close to twenty-five years of experience in the field of automated compensation and performance management systems, starting with Meidinger, Inc. and later Mercer. He has been a partner in MacLean Associates, Willis Corroon and Management Science Associates before co-founding InfoTechworks, Inc in 1996. Greg was the chief technology officer of InfoTechWorks, and the chief architect of the firm's flagship, web-based, integrated compensation and talent management application. In February of 2005, Greg and his associates sold InfoTechworks to Vurv Technology where he became the Senior Product Manager of Vurv's integrated Talent Management suite of applications. As Vurv was acquired by Taleo in early 2008, Greg returned to his roots, becoming the Managing Director of Professional Services for HCR Software, specializing in truly tailored compensation planning systems.

Greg has managed over 100 major client implementations for both product and custom software solutions, where he combines his technology background with a wealth of practical compensation and HR knowledge. With over 20 years of experience in all things automation, he has the experience, knowledge and communication skills to help you address those unique needs of every organization.
