Innovation and Strategic Leadership Veteran Greg Coticchia Joins CEO Coaching International

Published

on

Canonsburg, PA, 21st August 2025, ZEX PR WIRECEO Coaching International, a premier executive coaching firm for growth-focused CEOs and entrepreneurs, today announced the addition of Greg Coticchia as its newest Partner and Coach. Coticchia brings to the firm a three-decade-long career marked by visionary leadership, pioneering innovation, and a proven track record of creating immense business value. His expertise is rooted in a unique blend of serial entrepreneurship, C-suite executive roles, and a profound academic background in product and innovation management.

Coticchia’s career as a six-time CEO and two-time COO has given him an unparalleled perspective on the challenges and opportunities leaders face. He has operated at every stage of the business lifecycle, from founding four startups to serving as an executive in organizations with revenues exceeding $1 billion. This depth of experience allows him to coach clients on a wide range of issues, from raising capital and navigating mergers and acquisitions to achieving profitable exits. Over the course of his career, he has successfully raised more than $73 million in venture capital and been a key participant in over 17 mergers and acquisitions. His ability to guide businesses through complex transitions and high-stakes financial events provides invaluable insight to the CEOs he now coaches.

One of his most significant career accomplishments was as CEO and Board Member of Sopheon, a publicly held global company. Under his leadership, Coticchia steered the firm through a massive transformation, shifting its business model from a consulting-centric service provider to a modern, cloud-native SaaS powerhouse. This strategic pivot not only modernized the company’s offerings but also prepared it for a successful exit to the private equity firm Resurgens Technology. This experience cemented his reputation as a “hired gun” CEO capable of driving monumental change and building enduring value. Coticchia’s philosophy is that innovation is not just about technology, but a fundamental skill that every company must master to differentiate and grow. He has been directly involved in or responsible for the launch of over 100 products and solutions throughout his career, a testament to his expertise in new product commercialization.

A Leader in Education and Thought Leadership

Coticchia’s influence extends far beyond the boardroom. He is widely recognized as a thought leader in product management, innovation, and leadership. His most prominent academic achievement is the creation and launch of Carnegie Mellon University’s Master’s Program in Product Management (MSPM), which holds the distinction of being the world’s first product management degree. As its founding executive director, he built a curriculum that has since become a benchmark for the industry. His dedication to education continues as a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Katz School of Business, where he teaches courses on B2B marketing. He holds a degree in Industrial Engineering and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and a Professional Coaching certificate from Duquesne University.

In addition to his academic contributions, Coticchia is a prolific author and speaker. His book, “Start Your Startup Right,” is available on Amazon and provides practical guidance for aspiring entrepreneurs. He is also a sought-after guest on a number of podcasts, including the “Innovation Fireside Chat” and CEO Coaching International’s own podcast, where he has shared his insights on mastering new product development and building a culture of innovation. His articles on the Forbes Technology Council, which cover topics such as AI in innovation, product development, and the importance of data, have further solidified his position as a respected voice in the industry. These publications and speaking engagements provide a public platform for his deep knowledge, making his expertise accessible to a wider audience of leaders and innovators.

Accolades and Impact

Greg Coticchia’s professional excellence has been recognized with multiple prestigious awards. He was named a finalist three times for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and for the Tech 50 CEO of the Year. He is also a two-time Distinguished Graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, an honor he received from both the Katz School of Business in 2006 and the Swanson School of Engineering in 2023.

“Greg comes to us with decades of unique experience in founding, leading, driving extraordinary growth, and scaling companies from startups to billion-dollar industry giants,” said Mark Moses, CEO and Founding Partner of CEO Coaching International. “I am thrilled to welcome Greg to our team and look forward to seeing him apply his expansive knowledge and experience towards coaching other CEOs and helping them achieve BIG goals.”

Coticchia himself recognizes the critical role of his hands-on experience in his new coaching capacity. “Driving innovation and new product commercialization is a powerful skill every company must master,” he stated. “With decades of success as a six-time CEO, executive mentor, and board member, I have helped businesses grow through product innovation and also been involved in reaping the benefits of these investments with multiple successful exits. I can help Make BIG Happen through this unique lens to drive business value.”

How Scientologys Social Programs Mobilize Volunteers and Deliver Local Impact Across Europe

Published

on

The Church of Scientology carries out a wide range of humanitarian programs across Europe—from drug prevention and human-rights education to disaster relief and community training. Rooted in the vision of Founder L. Ron Hubbard and led globally by David Miscavige, these initiatives are coordinated in Europe by Ivan Arjona-Pelado and mobilize thousands of volunteers. With free educational materials, practical training, and partnerships at the local level, Scientology’s social programs are leaving a tangible positive impact on European communities while fostering a culture of service and volunteering.

How Scientology’s Social Programs Mobilize Volunteers and Deliver Local Impact Across Europe

From drug education and human-rights literacy to disaster relief and community skills training, the Church of Scientology supports a set of social initiatives designed to be practical, free to use, and volunteer-driven. In Europe, these programs operate through local churches and partners, with volunteers distributing educational materials, hosting workshops, and deploying to emergencies.

A suite of programs with a civic focus

Scientology’s humanitarian initiatives include the Truth About Drugs campaign (delivered through Foundation for a Drug-Free World), Youth for Human Rights/United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness (a nonreligious code of common-sense precepts by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard), Applied Scholastics (study skills), Criminon (criminal rehabilitation), Narconon (drug rehabilitation), and the Volunteer Ministers (VMs) network for disaster response and community support. According to Church sources, all are offered as free educational programs and made available in multiple languages both online and in print.

The Foundation for a Drug-Free World reports that more than 62 million Truth About Drugs booklets have been distributed worldwide, while the campaign’s public-service announcements have been broadcast in over 120 countries.

Where Europe sees it on the ground

The Volunteer Ministers—recognizable by their yellow shirts—have provided aid at European disasters and community events, often in cooperation with local authorities and NGOs. In Italy, for example, VMs working alongside the civil protection association Pro.Civi.Co.S have been active at major emergencies from the L’Aquila and Amatrice earthquakes to deployments in Albania and Croatia, and volunteers where also extremely active in Czech Republic floods as well as in Valencia (Spain) for the DANA.

In everyday civic life, volunteers run public pavilions and free skills seminars. In late 2024, VMs in Bucharest offered courses in nineteen practical subjects derived from the Scientology Handbook, with training and materials available in Romanian.

Drug-education volunteers have also been visible in European city centers, festivals, and sports events. During the Paris 2024 Olympics, Drug-Free World teams distributed more than a million Truth About Drugs booklets across iconic locations, reinforcing prevention efforts with visitors and residents alike.

For character education, The Way to Happiness—written by L. Ron Hubbard as a secular guide—has been widely used by volunteers across Europe with schools and community groups to promote civility and ethical choices.

Promoting a culture of volunteering

The Church of Scientology actively encourages volunteering through its Volunteer Ministers program, created by L. Ron Hubbard in the mid-1970s. Guided by the motto “Something can be done about it,” the initiative promotes service as a personal responsibility. Training is provided free of charge through nineteen Volunteer Ministers online courses covering areas such as communication, conflict resolution, and organizing. An information kit is also offered to help new volunteers start activities locally.

Leadership and European coordination

David Miscavige, Ecclesiastical Leader of the Church of Scientology and Chairman of the Board of the Religious Technology Center (RTC), is the driving force behind the expansion of these humanitarian initiatives worldwide, including the Truth About Drugs campaign, human-rights education, and the Volunteer Ministers network.

In Brussels, coordination of the Church’s European engagement is managed through the European Office of the Church of Scientology for Public Affairs and Human Rights, which maintains dialogue with EU and Council of Europe institutions as well as United Nations in Geneva through its recognized foundation MEJORA.

A civic footprint built on free access and partnerships

Across all programs, the Church emphasizes no-cost educational materials, multilingual availability, and cooperation with community institutions. This model—producing scalable content centrally and mobilizing local volunteers to deliver it—has enabled wide distribution and recurring activities across European cities, from school presentations and public outreach to formal roundtables on rights and citizenship.
