About the Founder
 Dr.
Abraham M. George is
the founder and the principal benefactor of The George Foundation. Born in
Kerala, India, and trained at the National Defence Academy in Kadakvasla (similar
to West Point), he served as an artillery officer in the Indian Army before
being honorably discharged as a Captain. Subsequently, he migrated to the
U.S., and obtained an M.B.A in Economics, M.S. in Finance, and Ph.D. in
International Finance and Banking from the Stern School of Business at New
York University.
Dr. George
is currently the Chairman at eMedexOnline LLC, a medical diagnostic software
company in the U.S. His professional career included: Chairman of
Multinational Computer Models, Inc. (MCM), a financial software applications
company he founded; a Vice Chairman at SunGard Data Systems, a New York Stock
Exchange listed company that bought MCM; and a Managing Director at CS First
Boston, a global investment bank.
After over
20 years of absence from India, Dr. George returned in 1995 to start several
humanitarian projects. In order to have the freedom to carry out his ideas
and concepts, and to demonstrate the obligation on the part of private
individuals of financial means to make contributions to the needy segment of
the society, he decided not to seek any external funding for his projects
during the initial ten years of the foundation's activities. Now that several
of the projects he has started have made a good beginning, The George Foundation
is seeking additional funds from donors to expand its humanitarian work.
