Greg Easley

Profile

Greg Easley is a strategic advisor, innovator, and serial founder who has spent three decades building and scaling technology-driven products across media, gaming, mobility, and AI. A former venture-backed CEO with multiple successful exits, he now leads Laurel Labs, a boutique firm advising startups and growth-stage companies on product strategy, emerging technologies, and responsible AI adoption.

At The New School, Greg teaches courses focused on mobile app development, AI, entrepreneurship, and the media business. His teaching emphasizes clear thinking, systems design, and hands-on creation using modern no-code and “vibe-coding” tools. His classes are known for being rigorous, practical, and grounded in real-world experience.

In addition to teaching and advising, Greg is an active writer and speaker on technology, media, and culture, regularly contributing essays and participating in public conversations to translate complex ideas for broad audiences. His work helps people understand not just how digital products are built – but how they shape markets, institutions, and everyday life.
