The CIO of the Year ORBIE Awards is the premier technology executive recognition program in the United States. It honors chief information officers, and those in equivalent roles, who have demonstrated excellence in technology leadership.

“George’s recognition in the SoCal CIO of the Year Awards program is well-deserved,” comments Eric Kurtzman, co-CEO at Stretto. “Over the past year, he has transformed the technology ecosystem at Stretto, elevating his team, processes and technology to an enhanced level. We feel fortunate to have George as a member of our executive committee and wish him the best of luck as an awards finalist.”

George’s previous success in leading the software development of dynamic, large-scale, and highly complex technology solutions, as well as the re-engineering of existing platforms, for mid-sized, growth-oriented, business aligns well with Stretto’s vision for its evolution as it continues to expand operations.

“I’m honored to have been chosen as a finalist for this prestigious award among so many highly respected technology leaders from the Southern California region,” George comments. “This recognition would not have been possible without the support of my entire team at Stretto and many professionals whom I’ve had the privilege to work with and learn from throughout my career.”
