In this role, he is responsible for spearheading the evolution of the company’s technical skillset and with staying informed of critical core technologies that will drive CDI’s services and solutions into the future.
“Time and time again, CDI has demonstrated its ability to take on emerging technologies for the data center and develop sophisticated solutions and services around them,” George says. “Our team pioneered real-world solutions for advanced wireless technologies, security, IP telephony, the list goes on. We were among the earliest integrators capable of deploying and supporting private cloud infrastructure, notably technologies from EMC, Cisco and VMware that are part of the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition. By becoming skilled in emerging technologies early in the game, CDI can help our clients innovate ahead of their competitors.”

His key achievements include developing CDI’s networking practice, driving the company to earn Cisco Gold Certified status.
George was also instrumental in developing CDI’s advanced consulting skills in converged network communications including voice, video and Fiber Channel over Ethernet and IP networks, advanced wireless services, its proactive security practice and its managed services for network, telephony, server and storage management. Additionally, George is an esteemed member of the Cisco Technical Leadership Council.
From 1991–2001, George served as vice president of engineering for EAC Inc., a former Connecticut-based value-added reseller specializing in many of the same technologies as CDI. George graduated in 1987 from Saint Lawrence University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics and a concentration in computer science.
