Following his undergrad studies, George moved to Boston, where he worked as a Private Equity Analyst at Partners Capital, a global investment office, and underwrote PE and VC funds for the firm’s clients. Going forward, George hopes to pursue a career in investment management or infrastructure PE, helping to finance large-scale infrastructure projects with huge societal impact.
