George is an IT systems architect currently supporting NASCOM, the NASA mission communications network. With more than 30 years of experience, he has had leadership roles at premiere academic, corporate, and federal institutions including Cornell University, AOL, Discovery Communications, and GAO. In his current position, he is building the security infrastructure to protect more than 85 active NASA programs.
In addition to his strong technical and management background, George brings a history of successful venture startups to GreenSTEMs. In 1992, he formed a company to develop Internet services and launched the first commercial website to market real estate. He sold that company just prior to his move to AOL where he created their Internet Operations division. As director and chief architect, he led the technical team that put aol.com on the net. In 2000, he left AOL to form a venture capital company that invested in and supported a variety of other startups.
In 2009, George answered the call of his CEO to participate in the support of STEM education programs by volunteering to mentor the robotics club at his local high school. He immediately saw the need to form a nonprofit company to generate community interest and participation in similar activities for people of all ages and backgrounds.
