"George took on the role of Industry Development Manager for Intel's new
Digital Health Group in November 2005. For him it was an opportunity to
take an active role in changing the way healthcare was delivered in
Australia. Prior to moving to Intel Australia he has been very active in
the healthcare informatics arena as the CIO of a private hospital group
in Sydney, manager of an innovative software development group
developing solutions for healthcare providers and consumers, and board
member at the state and national level of the Health Informatics Society
of Australia.

He is a registered medical practitioner having graduated from the
University of Sydney. He is also a registered optometrist and holds a
graduate degree in E-Business from the University of Southern
Queensland. He ran a successful software company during the heady days
of the late 80's and early 90's and has been an active computer
enthusiast from the late 70's when he acquired his first PC, a Sinclair
Z80."

had. ;-)
