Gregory Bartley

Meet Gregory

“I have grown in every area since joining NFE, and this has rubbed off in the way I parent my children” – Gregory Bartley, Senior Project Manager, Jamaica

Gregory Bartley had 14 years of power generation experience before joining us in 2018 as Assistant Project Manager. So far, he has led more than 16 projects to drive the transformation to cleaner energy in Jamaica.

He credits his father with teaching him to become the man he is today.

“Oddly enough, my father never told me he loved me or took us on trips,” Gregory recalls. “But his constant hard work and dedication to provide for his family showed he loved us dearly. By his actions, he taught me how to be a hard-working individual who provides for and is dedicated to his family.”

 “Having a father in the home inspires one to become a man who would someday make a positive difference in society. It is very important to set that example for the younger generation.”

The standard he strives to set for the next generation can be seen in the lessons he wants to teach his children.

“The only constant is change, so be adaptable and get things done,” he says. “Always speak the truth, take responsibility for your actions, don’t be afraid of failure, be a lifelong learner, set goals, and dream big.

He also appreciates the positive influence of his NFE colleagues.

“I have been blessed by some of the most wonderful coworkers who have encouraged me daily to be a better version of myself,” he says. “I have grown in every area since joining NFE, and this has rubbed off in the way I parent my children.”

His planned Father’s Day celebration spreads those blessings even further.

“We’ll celebrate by highlighting the importance of fathers in general worship service at the Newtown Independent Baptist Church, where I attend,” he says. “This includes the giving of gifts along with reaffirmation of the positive effects of being a strong role model to families within my community.”
