Greg is an entrepreneur who specialises in identifying and entering new markets. He made his first foray into business at the age of 16 and has since amassed 12 years of diverse experience, including ownership of a laundry chain, and serving as director of fashion fixit brand Hollywood Fashion Tape where he led expansion of the business throughout the Asia Pacific region.

In May 2017 Moshal and Prospa co-founder Beau Bertoli were joint winners of the Fintech leader of the year award at Fintech Australia’s inaugural awards event, where Prospa also won best Fintech place to work. In July 2017 Prospa won Best Medium Business NSW in the Telstra Business Awards and were received AON Hewitt Best Employer Award for 2017.
