Greg Petrossian is your ally when you need sharp, honest, high-level tech leadership.
It’s my recipe for success.
“Schema” is the foundation, the logic, scaffolding, and architecture behind any digital system.
“Sauce” is the magic, the unexpected twist that makes it impactful and meaningful.
Schema Sauce is my approach to technology. I bring order to messy systems, flavor to dry roadmaps, motivation to those who’ve lost hope, and traction to ideas that have stalled out.
I see the full picture—tech, product, data, sales, marketing, and strategy—so I connect the dots in a way others can’t.
I lead with outcomes. Every recommendation ties back to your goals.
No distractions, no side quests. I make sure you take pragmatic steps that deliver value.
I take pride in delivering a seamless experience. My clients know I’m in it with them.
Whether it’s AI, modern data stacks, or team development, I help you build what matters now and what scales later.
Gregory (Greg) Petrossian is a technologist, community builder, and advocate for Portland’s growth into the vibrant “Silicon Forest” of tomorrow.
Born and raised in Portland, Greg has spent his career taking data and AI products to market, from first positioning to global scale, while building the tech communities that adopt them.
Greg currently serves as the Go-To-Market Leader for Anza, the core development team behind Solana. He leads positioning and content for Solana’s core protocol and validator client, translating protocol engineering into material that validators, developers, and ecosystem partners can trust.
Greg’s expertise spans the full technology stack: agentic AI, business intelligence, data warehousing, process automation, and application development. He has deployed and operated these systems for organizations from mid-size businesses to global enterprises, across every environment they run: air-gapped on-premises installations, hybrid architectures, and fully cloud-native platforms.
Greg also knows the cloud business from both sides. He has built strategic partnerships with the major hyperscalers, co-selling alongside their field teams to bring joint solutions to market. And he stays hands-on, administering Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud environments alongside their partner portals himself.
He specializes in helping organizations adopt new technology with confidence, particularly in regulated industries like healthcare, where his career began.
Greg’s passion for community runs deep.
Over the past seven years, he has led Microsoft-based communities, including the Portland Fabric User Group, Portland Power Platform User Group, and Portland Azure User Group. He was also a founding member of the Technology Association of Oregon’s original Data Analytics, Strategy, and Leadership Community, which evolved into today’s flourishing AI & Data Community.
His dedication to education extends beyond the community. Greg has crafted and taught the Master’s course “Sales Engineering for Data & AI” at Willamette University, distilling his expertise in consultative sales, solution architecture, and Challenger Sale tactics into a curriculum designed to empower future technologists and leaders.
Greg’s vision is clear: a thriving Portland tech community at the center of a broader ecosystem where people and businesses adopt new technology with confidence, and where everyone is welcome.
