George is a medical practitioner who has been deeply involved in technology for the last 30 years.

During that time he also started a software distribution company that grew to one of the largest direct software sales companies in Australia.
He was CIO of a private hospital group as well as managing an innovative software development team that produced a personal health record for Australians 10 years before the PCEHR. He joined Intel in 2005, and then Intel-GE Care Innovations as they tried to radically transform healthcare, and has some amusing stories he can share about that time.
