Adrienne Gallagher
Managing Director
Adrienne spent the first ten years of her career making content for broadcast. She was on staff at ABC, ESPN, and Golf Channel before becoming a freelance producer. She ran that business successfully for three years, then she joined GO, running all aspects of their production business. That business grew and thrived until eventually it became obvious that it was its own thing. Greenlight. And here we are.
Adrienne makes cool videos.
When she was in kindergarten, she wanted to be a Native American storyteller. In a weird way, that’s kinda what she became.
Adrienne holds an “insurance degree” from Fisher School of Business at Ohio State in Marketing and a minor in Legal Foundations of Society.

Chad Turner
Co-Founder
Chad co-founded GO in 2004. When the overwhelming demand for video from many of GO’s clients necessitated an internal expansion into video, the seeds of Greenlight were planted. Eventually, the video side of the business grew into its own. So, Chad made room for that business, whose website you are currently browsing.
