George is a successful entrepreneur having founded several multi-million dollar revenue companies from scratch without any external investment alongside his business partner Mike Bird. His current “day job” is being the CEO of the award-winning performance marketing agency Social Garden. The agency is home to 70+ employees across four countries and drives digital marketing and sales programs for many publicly listed property development companies as well large institutions such as Universities and Government organisations. George is also a Non-Executive Director and major shareholder at two of his portfolio companies which include Australia’s largest off-the-plan property marketplace, Urban.com.au, and US tech-enabled brokerage and agency, Snaplistings.com He recently closed a private share sale with carsales.com co-founder Steve Kloss which valued his companies at more than $40M (in the middle of a major downturn in tech company valuations). George loves the process of growing a business from an idea into an enterprise. The sweat, the highs, the lows and the people who make the dream possible. Outside of business, George spends his time obsessing over sport and enjoying the outdoors with his family. He’s an avid skier, golfer, basketballer, footy player and skateboarder. George is highly engaged in the non-for-profit space and works closely to empower community organisations with skills, connections and capital via his partnership with Igniting Change.
