“My mom unintentionally traced the roadmap to my destiny. Little did she know that when she signed me up for a beauty contest, she opened the doors for the most thrilling journey of my life.”
When 23-year-old Greice Murphy arrived in America from her native country of Brazil, she had with her three pieces of luggage, grandma’s rosary, and her first job as a currency trader in a regional bank. She spoke no English, had no friends or family in Atlanta, but she had a big dream:
“I didn’t come here just to take my shot at the ‘American Dream’ or be professionally successful. I came here to make a difference! I followed my calling in life: add value to others and make a positive impact on the lives I touch.”
And what a difference she made! Within 7 years, Greice would become the founder and CEO of an award-winning healthcare company that would change the way in-home nursing care services are delivered to medically fragile patients.
TESTIMONIALS
“I am thankful to have partnered with Greice at ACP, where I represented the lead investor on the Board of Directors. Greice is intelligent, charismatic, extraordinarily hard working, and works hard to build meaningful relationships with those she interacts with. She uses these significant strengths as an entrepreneur to galvanize her team around an important mission in order to do what very few people do well - that is to successfully create a start-up!”
Grant Jackson
Managing General Partner, Council Capital
“I met Greice through Council Capital and was impressed by the agility with which she spearheaded the acquisition of her company with the renowned private equity firm. Greice freely shared what she had learned in the process of the acquisition on an M&A panel that I hosted. She truly brightened up our panel with her energy and enthusiasm. I could tell right away her leadership and communication skills are outstanding, and so is her desire to make the world a better place.”

Sharp and inquisitive, Greice is an incredible teacher. She provides the perfect blend of support and encouragement, while challenging you and pushing you to be the best version of yourself.”

“Greice Murphy is just WOW. She’s a seasoned entrepreneur who has built a multimillion-dollar company in less than a decade. She is one of these rare leaders who are as good with people as they are with numbers. She’s equally brilliant at setting the big picture as well as understanding the day-to-day operations to get things done. She establishes her bold vision, recruits and retains the right people to implement said vision, and makes sure it is all done in a sustainable way for the company’s bottom line. She also cares deeply about her friends and colleagues and gives her time and talents freely whenever they need it.”
