Gregg Landskov: Council of Outstanding Early Career Engineers - 2013

Director, Strategic Planning T-Mobile USA Bellevue, Washington 

Oregon State University was an ideal place for Greg Landskov — a fantastic mix of challenging classes, nurturing atmosphere and great people. “My OSU education taught me how to think critically and approach problems systematically,” says Landskov. “Perhaps most importantly, I learned just as much outside of the classroom as in it. I learned about life — that is the sign of a special place.”As an engineer with a minor in business, Landskov was positioned to enter the rapidly expanding world of high technology. Although he got his feet wet at a small private chemical manufacturer, Landskov was soon headed for the San Francisco Bay Area, where he held positions as a marketing manager at Netscape and in the marketing IT group for Hewlett- Packard. He finally moved back to the Northwest as the strategic planner for T-Mobile USA.“Being a part of the Netscape browser team as we launched the first commercial suite based on Mozilla had a huge impact in the industry,” says Landskov. “The software still lives on as Firefox — one of the three most popular Internet browsers worldwide with more than 200 million downloads.”
