After many years working for a local bank, George left to start-up his own company specialising in mortgage origination and debt consolidation which eventually lead to the establishment of a funding platform to enable loans originated, to be securitized.

Out of the blue, on the morning of 26th of April 2008, George aged 37, suffered an Ischemic stroke which left him with a right hemiparesis and expressive aphasia.  Within 10 months of his stroke his business suffered and collapsed…along with his marriage.

In 2010, frustrated after reaching out and searching for support and not finding what he needed and/or required at the time, George co-founded The Stroke Survivors Foundation (SSF), a non-profit organization (www.strokesurvivors.org.za), the aim of which is to provide support to other stroke survivors and their families, and to create stroke awareness in South Africa,

In 2016 George was elected on to the World Stroke Organisation Board of Directors. (http://www.world-stroke.org/)

With George’s first-hand experience and understanding the value and importance of both paramedic and/or first responders in a medical emergency, he jumped at the opportunity to partner with seasoned and experienced Paramedics.

George is passionate about SynigeMedX’s vision and due to his limitations from the stroke, his role and responsibility is the administration, financial, and operational management of the company.

Adapt. Improvise. Overcome!
