George Howard

George Howard's career has been defined by a passionate drive to leverage technology in order to create dramatic value. Mr. Howard has consistently demonstrated a keen ability to not only discern the technologies that represent opportunity, but to also implement them in a manner that maximizes impact and ROI.

An artist by nature, a JD/MBA by training, and an entrepreneur, academic, and operator in practice, Mr. Howard has started, run, and advised some of the largest and most significant companies in the world; from running the first CD-only label, to driving disintermediation in the distribution industry via co-founding one of the world's largest independent distributors, to defining and implementing the then-nascent Social Media technology for Fortune 500 companies and Ivy League Universities.

All of the above is a byproduct of his personal mission: help artists create sustainable careers on their own terms. He is guided by the deeply-rooted belief that art is an empathy machine, and, thus/as it follows, more art equals less war.
