About Greg Block

A proven leader in strategic communications and public advocacy, for more than two decades I have managed the communications, public affairs, marketing, branding, public relations and community relations for companies in a variety of industries. I have experience and success in government, higher education, real estate, land development, construction, law, technology, hospitality, dining and entertainment. While in the office of the Mayor, I was responsible for communications as well as public affairs for several key issue areas, including homelessness and mobility. I drafted and successfully passed the City’s first set of regulations for the shared dockless mobility industry. And I was integral in the creation of a city-wide on-street parking program for the industry. Prior to joining the Mayor’s office I spent more than 8 years at San Diego State University. As Chief Communications Officer there I was responsible for the overall brand of the oldest and largest public research university in the region, including marketing and advertising, media relations, social media, web development and online publishing, community relations, a print and online alumni magazine and video production. Throughout my career I have earned the trust and respect as strategic counsel from colleagues at all levels of an organization.
