Dot Family Holdings Announces Leadership Change at OmniCable

July 5, 2023

Dot Family Holdings (DFH), the investment office of the Tracy Family, announced Tuesday that Greg Lampert has retired from his role as CEO of OmniCable. DFH acquired OmniCable in 2019; Lampert was with the business for seven years total and moved into the CEO role following the acquisition. OmniCable’s current vice chairman, Jeff Siegfried, will step in as interim CEO effective immediately. Siegfried co-founded the company and previously served as CEO and chairman.

“Greg has been a valued member of our OmniCable team, and he will be missed,” Siegfried said. “He recently shared that he made this decision because he needs his focus to be on his family now after a 34-year career of heavy travel and unwavering commitment to the businesses and teams he has served. We are grateful for his leadership and the strategic direction he provided throughout his career at OmniCable that helped drive a lot of success for the company.”

DFH knows the future is bright for OmniCable. The company is coming off a banner 2022, the most successful year in its history. And while OmniCable faces the same challenges as everyone else in the industry, we have some exciting initiatives in the works that we look forward to sharing publicly very soon.”
