With his background in working at a research services firm, he is also very helpful when working with research vendors -- often providing helpful direction when vetting proposals or managing vendors throughout the research project process. He's also extremely professional and responsive to stakeholder concerns.'' - '''Bianca Ling''', Comcast - February 9, 2012

* ''Your advice and support was greatly appreciated.  I was lucky to learn about my field of interest from somebody as knowledgeable as you.'' - '''Carol Blackburn''', Comcast - May 2010
    
* ''I was fortunate to work with Greg for a number of years at ICR, before he made the bold, but wise, move to Comcast. I learned a great deal from him as well as about him. He is dedicated to taking in as much as possible, yet strives to make his own mark and contributions. There are those who know a lot about a few things, and others who know a little about many things; then there's Greg, who knows an awful lot about many, many things! His intelligence and analytical nature have clearly driven his success, but his personality and above-average 'people skills' separate him from the crowd.'' - '''Dean Martinelli''', ICR - November 23, 2009

As a Director-level researcher at a Fortune 50 company, Kohs has seen it all in the fields of advertising and marketing communications.  As someone who is also very knowledgeable about wiki communities, he can present to your group or help you complete a news story with anything you ''really'' need to know about wikis, Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia Foundation. Observing Wikipedia and other wikis since 2005 through the lens of business ethics, he'll pull no punches and will draw aside the curtain to reveal the manipulative wiki wizards who hide behind it.  The story of MyWikiBiz was [http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=mywikibiz&go=Submit&qs=n&form=NWBQBN&pq=mywikibiz&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk= broadly publicized] in over 150 mainstream media outlets, including the ''Washington Post'', ''USA Today'', ''MSNBC.com'', and the ''Chronicle of Higher Education'', as well as a [http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/theloop/63519/The-Loop-Can-Wikipedia-Be-Trusted.html television appearance] on the ''G4 TV'' network.  Harvard professor Jonathan Zittrain also extensively covered the MyWikiBiz phenomenon in his best-selling book, ''[http://yupnet.org/zittrain/archives/16#48 The Future of the Internet]'', and Kohs has spoken before Zittrain's class on Internet law at Harvard Law School.
