George Contos

George is an entrepreneur, visionary, thought leader, and now author. George is the CEO of World Wide Metric, a family owned and operated distribution company serving the global maritime and industrial flow control and fluid power markets. He has been serving the industry for 30 years.

This self-starter has overcome many obstacles and failures along his journey. He accounts for them all as simply learning opportunities or experiences, which is exactly what they were. It’s only when you repeat the same mistake that you realize you haven’t quite learned or mastered it. That in and of itself is learning.

In his first book, Growing Up Metric, George shares his advice on operating a business. He highlights positivity, delegation, mastering cash flow, and clearly defining core values as being some of the most essential elements to developing a long-lasting, successful operation.
