George is a business development specialist with a unique blend of public, private and NGO experience. George describes himself as a ‘generalist’ who can enter a room full of dots and somehow know how and which ones to join. While this might seem to be a curious attribute, it actually enables him to effectively meet the needs of a broad range of industry, academic and public sector clients. His resume reveals an interesting, if not eclectic, career that includes 18 years in Canada’s Foreign Trade Service, 10 years in the private sector and many more in the NGO arena. Perhaps this explains how he is able to decipher commercial opportunities within dot-filled rooms.
