Dr. Greg Price: Championing Education and Technology in Pike County

Dr. Greg Price, a dedicated member of the Pike County Board of Education and Troy University's Chief Technology and Security Officer, was named among the Top 10 technology leaders in the nation for the second year in a row by the Oncon Icon Awards. 

The Oncon Icon Award recognizes the top 100 technology executives worldwide, with the Top 10 selected from an exceptionally competitive group of finalists. This year, Price was recognized alongside influential leaders representing major companies like Citi, Intel, Mastercard, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, American Airlines, Dell and Hewlett Packard.

With nearly three decades of service at Troy University, Price has been instrumental in leading initiatives in enterprise IT, infrastructure modernization and cybersecurity innovation. Under his leadership, the university earned national recognition for its cybersecurity operations, including being named the top university security team in the U.S. by SecureWorld. 

Beyond his roles in technology, Price's commitment to education is prevalent throughout his career. In search of a impactful way to give back to his community, he took a chance at running for a seat on his local school board. Price has happily supported local schools through his service on the Pike County Board of Education now for more than two decades. 

In December 2024, Price was named to AASB’s All-State School Board, one of the association’s highest honors. He was elected to represent AASB District 3 as director in 2016 and has previously served on the finance and business committees of AASB. 

In an act of merging his technological expertise and passion for education, Price has led several learning sessions through AASB, offering guidance on technology issues to school board members from across the state. He’s also developed and implemented various cybersecurity initiatives for schools in an effort to protect students from online threats. 

Price’s leadership, both in the board office and technology, exemplifies what it means to serve with purpose, vision and heart. Whether advancing cybersecurity on a national stage or advocating for students in Pike County, he continues to champion excellence in education and technology.
