Testimonials
- It is rare to meet and work with someone who has a combination of deep technical and industry knowledge coupled with proven experience developing a vision into reality, while adhering to the strongest level of integrity and compassion. George is that rare person. He is a pleasure to work with, is a trusted advisor and a great mentor."Robert Wells, CEO, RD Global, Inc.
- George is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. Engaging and innovative, his passion for technology is addictive and fun. I worked very closely with George creating the vision for Appian's product lines and found it to be one of the most rewarding professional experiences of my life. He has a deep command of technology, an extremely efficient management style, and an innate sense for how to sift through complexity and limited resources to arrive at the best path forward. I strongly recommend George for any executive role in high technology."Philip Larson, Sr. Director, WW Partner Programs, Snowflake
- George is a sharp, seasoned executive with a complete skill set - senior management, sales, marketing, product strategy/management, CIO and corporate development experience. George knows BPMS inside out; and he understands software and the software industry better than anyone I've met in 12 years in the software business. Beyond knowledge and skills, George is a wonderful human being. He is a passionate, deeply caring individual who will always find a way to accomplish the goal as well as do what's best for the team. The best recommendation I can provide is that if I were starting/running a company and wanted to hire a CEO, VP of Sales, VP of Business/Corporate Development, or CIO, he would be my first,and hopefully last, phone call."Rob Weedn, Founder & CPO, DealSignal
