The Glass House Announces Greg Sages as Executive Director

The Glass House is pleased to announce Greg Sages as Executive Director and a promoted position for Scott Drevnig as Deputy Director. Greg joined the Glass House staff in 2009 after more than 25 years of financial and operational leadership in the corporate world, including positions at Asea Brown Boveri, Tenneco, and UIL Holdings, where he served as Vice President of Finance.

During his tenure at the Glass House, Greg has made significant strides in completing large capital projects, growing revenue in all categories, managing and mentoring a high-performing staff, strengthening relationships with local partners, and facilitating the implementation of programming such as the Veil installation. 

“The Glass House team and I look forward to continuing the legacy of Philip Johnson and David Whitney. We are also exploring ways to expand our community involvement in New Canaan and throughout Fairfield County,” commented Greg Sages.

Scott Drevnig has served as the Director of Development at the Glass House for the past three years, managing the site's development initiatives, growing revenue in all categories including institutional and individual giving, as well as special events, while also creating and growing significant corporate partnerships. This year, Drevnig’s leadership on the annual Summer Party resulted in the most successful fundraiser in the site's history and has resulted in new relationships with a range of top artists, architects, and designers. Prior to his current position, Drevnig spent seven years as Director of Art & Event Marketing at the non-profit ACRIA, and has previously held business development and marketing positions at Time Warner, the BBC, and Christie's.
