Greg Koepel

I have been at Roehl Transport nearly 15 years. During that time, I have come to know Greg as a dynamic leader that thrives on developing others, developing plans for growth and developing solutions for improvement. Because he is visionary, he is not one to let a team stagnate or become complacent and is always striving to develop others to be the gold standard in their area of operation. He carries with him a set of strong values and a strong character that provides a clear path for others to follow. He has been instrumental in building a powerful, positive culture here and I appreciate the fact that he has helped me develop not only professionally but personally as well. Greg would be a great asset to any team he leads.

I have known and worked with Greg for over 25 years. During the early stages of our working relationship we worked on the same HR team. Greg is not a person that likes the status quo. He has vision and strives to constantly improve…whether through helping others, his work group, the company he works for, or himself. There are some individuals who have strong vision but are not able to execute on it and see it come to fruition. Greg is able to do both exceedingly well. Shortly after he left that team and organization, I was challenged to follow in his footsteps. He had left quite a legacy! Since those days we have each grown in our careers, and over the previous 10 years I have had the opportunity to occasionally work with Greg as an independent consultant. Through my discussions with him on various organizational topics and things he has accomplished at Roehl, it is plain to see that the zeal and fire that existed early in our careers continues to strongly manifest itself, but is accompanied by an additional difficult-to-find trait: Wisdom.

Over the course of ten years, while working in the department that Greg is the Vice President of, I have been astonished by the level of professionalism that he brings to the table each day. Greg is approachable, supportive, adaptable and focused on a positive end result. He embodies all of the characteristics that are necessary for a company to be successful in an ever changing market.

Greg Koepel and I pursued our graduate degrees at the same time, while U.S. Army officers. Greg is a courageous leader with uncommon wit and a singular ability to effectively encourage, and relate, to others. A strong character and unflinching morals are central to how Greg approaches life. Many years have passed since we first became colleagues, then friends. Throughout those years, Greg has proven himself to be a loyal friend and consummate professional.

I have enjoyed the pleasure of working on several high level strategic projects with Greg over the past decade. He is thoughtful, insightful and very well read, but even more so, he is humble, discerning, and open. He never falls in love with his own ideas, and will challenge those around him to be as professionally objective as he is. He’s just a flat out all around outstanding guy with a bright mind and rock solid character.
