His expertise spans local, state, and federal elections, where he has been recognized for his ability to navigate complex political landscapes and deliver winning outcomes for his clients.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Under Dennis&amp;#39;s leadership, Strive Strategies has built a reputation for excellence, serving candidates, elected officials, and organizations across Illinois and beyond.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Greg Hart&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Greg Hart is a management consultant and former DuPage County Board Member who represented nearly 1 million residents in the western suburbs of Chicago from 2017-2023. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Greg was appointed to the DuPage County Board in 2017 by Chairman Dan Cronin and was subsequently elected to a full, four-year term in 2018 at the age of 30 &amp;ndash; becoming the first millennial of his party to serve on the board of Illinois&amp;rsquo; second largest county.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During his time on the County Board, Greg led DuPage&amp;rsquo;s response to the opioid epidemic as Co-Chair of the Heroin-Opioid Prevention &amp;amp; Education (HOPE) Taskforce. His leadership of the HOPE Taskforce won DuPage County two national achievement awards from the National Association of Counties for innovation. During the final year of Greg&amp;rsquo;s tenure as Co-Chair, opioid overdoses in DuPage decreased by 9%, outperforming state and national averages. As a result, he is widely credited with helping establish DuPage as a national leader in fighting substance use disorder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Greg also served as Chairman of DuPage County&amp;rsquo;s Technology and Human Services Committees, where he respectively led the largest investment in IT infrastructure in the last quarter century and saved taxpayers one million dollars annually by implementing operational efficiency practices. Greg also spearheaded a &amp;ldquo;first of its kind&amp;rdquo; initiative to form new business enterprise programs for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned firms in DuPage County. Greg was consistently regarded as the most bipartisan member of the DuPage County Board.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Outside of politics, Greg serves as a Senior Managing Consultant and Owner at Point B, Inc., where he advises Fortune 100 clients on how to implement organizational change during mergers, acquisitions, and enterprise-wide technology transformations. Prior to joining Point B in 2018, he served in management roles at Deloitte Consulting and Booz Allen Hamilton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Greg graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and received his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Greg is philanthropically active in Chicagoland, serving on the Board of Directors for the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, the Boy Scouts of America Three Fires Council, Path to Recovery Foundation, and the Selection Committee for the Edgar Fellows Program at the University of Illinois. He lives in Hinsdale with his wife Alexandra and his three young children Madeleine, George, and Catherine.&lt;/p&gt;
