George began his engineering career 35 years ago in the design and construction of large public works projects.  He shifted his focus to industrial engineering and manufacturing processes when he joined General Motors in 1979.  There he managed productivity improvement activities, product planning, cost reduction programs, ISO 9001 implementation for the engineering department and business processes improvement. 

George has extrapolated his manufacturing experience to the service sector, specifically, the health care industry where he is charged with organizing and leading Lean Process Improvement (Toyota Production System) initiatives for Memorial Health System.

George’s approach to business process improvement is practical, focused on engaging and empowering all levels of the organization in work methods improvement and cultural transformation.  He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Illinois.
