Gary Green (born September 8, 1965) is an American businessman and entrepreneur. He is CEO of Alliance Building Services, one of the largest privately held building service providers in North America. In 2009, at the peak of his building services career, Green channeled his passion for baseball into Alliance Baseball LLC and has become a prominent investor and franchise owner in Minor League Baseball.
Green was born in Manhasset, New York. He attended Great Neck North High School, Great Neck, New York and graduated in 1983.
Green attended Union College, Schenectady, New York for one year (1983–1984) before transferring to University of Vermont in the fall of 1984. He traveled to Sydney, Australia in his senior year where he studied Australian politics at Macquarie University. Green graduated from University of Vermont in 1988 with a B.A. in political science. He returned to New York from Australia a year later and enrolled in New York University Stern School of Business where he earned an M.B.A. in finance in 1991.
After completing his M.B.A., Green worked as a real estate broker for Abrams Benisch Riker and Riverbank Realty. Green also taught real estate finance in the Executive Division of New York University Stern School of Business.
Green then worked for his family's real estate company, where he successfully launched and ran its brokerage division. As vice president, he played an important role in the redevelopment of the company's commercial building portfolio.
Faced with the decision to continue with the family business or step out on his own, Green ventured out in 1992 at the age of 26 and founded Alliance Building Services.
Green is currently the CEO of Alliance Building Services. Alliance is one of the largest privately held building service providers in North America. The company supervises or employs approximately 5,000 employees.
Alliance offers a variety of services through four different companies: First Quality Maintenance, Classic Security, Bright Star Messenger Centers, and Onyx Restoration and Painting.
Green formed First Quality Maintenance out of a frustration with mediocre cleaning service companies that overcharged landlords and tenants. He wasn’t satisfied with just mimicking an "old guard" business; he wanted to change the business model. Green continued to grow the company from 1992 to 1997 and expanded from servicing the family business's properties to third party properties. By 2004, First Quality Maintenance was providing cleaning services to more than 100 buildings.
