George brings over 15 years of experience across diplomacy and private-sector consulting, with expertise in international negotiations, EU law, and regulatory compliance.

George served for 13 years as a Romanian diplomat with postings in Lebanon, the Council of Europe, and France. At the Council of Europe, he contributed to key Recommendations and Resolutions on human and social rights. At the Romanian Embassy in France, he led high-level policy negotiations with French authorities on EU energy, climate, sustainability regulations and policies, as well as on EU sanctions.

He also co-founded Trackey, a niche consultancy that helps clients in the agribusiness, wood, and fashion sectors to comply with EU regulations and stay away from non-financial risks that impact their business.
