When asked what prepared him for his role in EMM Group, Greg Bach responded I grew up in Westchester, New York and went to FIT. I was an artist. I feel like art and operations, which Im doing now, go hand-in-hand. You have to be able to see key elements, understand space, and make sure everything is always on-point. Its intellectual too, because your visual intellect continues to evolve, especially when working on a nightclub. Greg Bach started working at SL on weekends and quickly advanced, becoming the manager of SL full-time. Within three years, he proved himself to be an articulate and determined manager, earning him additional positions at Catch Roof and SL East.
Greg Bach oversees a multitude of operations. When asked what his position and responsibilities at EMM Group encompass he responded Im general manager. Our team works to make sure that everythingfrom the second you get out of the elevator and walk in is on point. We make sure your tables clear, your waitress is there hanging out with you and pouring you drinks, your bus boys are clearing your empty glasses, security is always in place. As a team, we act as hostsevery manager does. The success of CATCH Roof has really been the team efforthow we work as a family and how we all spend so much time working so hard, making sure being at Roof is the best experience you can have.
