TESTIMONIALS
I worked with George when we were both at the Resolution Trust Corporation. In a sea of madness during the Savings & Loan crisis, George was an island of calm. He was a knowledgeable asset manager, accepted responsibility (in a government entity where not many did), knew how to navigate the bureaucracy, and was a great team player who helped get things done rather than kick them down the road. I recommend George without hesitation.

George Assad was my student at the Thunderbird School of Global Management. In my 30+ year career, I have very rarely had the privilege of teaching students of George’s caliber. His thoroughness and eagerness to learn made him stand out. George’s ability to see the “whole picture” while grasping the details and nuances of complex situations was very impressive to me and to his classmates. George was (and still is) a very caring person: the kind of leader who helps others around him grow. George Assad was my student at the Thunderbird School of Global Management.
