Having lived in more than half a dozen countries, including South Africa, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, and the United States, she treasures a truly global perspective, including the dynamics of emerging markets.Driven by a passion for contribution and a relentless focus on solving real-world problems, she has worked with organizations as a founder, operating in executive roles and board positions, both for-profit and not-for-profit. She plays a pivotal role in fostering and designing businesses that positively influence its customers and community. Georgi is known for her collaborative spirit and her ability to bring compassion and creativity to any endeavor. If you are seated next to her at dinner she is likely to ask what you care about, versus what you do.Outside her professional endeavors, Georgi places family at the forefront of her priorities. Her love for adventures, or "Adventuras," reflects her commitment to prioritize experiences over material possessions. Georgi lives in San Francisco and shares her life with her loving husband Roberto and three bicultural children, Sienna, Oliver, and Patrick, who bring joy and richness to her life every day.
