Hi, I’m George 👋
A "Digital Wayfinder" on a mission to empower communities through culture and technology. My work revolves around aligning people, tools, and systems to create a culturally coherent future—a vision that drives everything I do.
With years of experience navigating the intersection of tradition and innovation, I’ve dedicated my career to helping businesses and individuals thrive in an increasingly complex world. Whether it’s through strategic consulting, scalable tools, or transformative community programs, I aim to bridge gaps and spread harmony.
My journey began with a deep appreciation for cultural intelligence (stemming from my Polynesian/Indian heritage, and third-cultured upbringing), plus a passion for leveraging technology as a force for good. Over time, this evolved into a holistic methodology that blends cultural heritage, modern tools, and systemic thinking to solve real-world challenges. Today, I channel this expertise into ventures that range from high-touch consulting services (Faiā) to scalable software solutions (cstack), all designed to help you achieve alignment and impact.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the rich traditions of diverse cultures, experimenting with new technologies, or sharing insights on how we can build a more resilient and sustainable future. My hope is that through my work, I can inspire others to embrace their own cultural roots while embracing the possibilities of tomorrow.
If you’re looking to align your team, streamline your systems, or simply explore how culture and technology can drive your success, I’d love to hear from you. Together, let’s create a future that honors the past while building toward what’s possible.

Expanded Bio
I align people with their tools & technologies - whether it's for individuals or companies and their teams.
I'm often called the "Digital Wayfinder" for my unique approach to merging culture, community, and tech. When I'm not creating content, my consulting work focuses on guiding businesses and leaders through the complexities of digital transformation with a deep understanding of cultural values and community dynamics.
With roots in my Tuvaluan-Samoan, Fijian-Indian heritage, plus an international upbringing, I’ve always had a foot in both the ancient and the modern. This blend has been instrumental in shaping my career and my perspective on technology’s role in society. From my formative years in Australia to Bangladesh, to my current work across the globe, I’ve honed my skills as a community-builder, entrepreneur, and culture-tech innovator.
I enjoy creating businesses. I am currently the Managing Director of Faiā, helping businesses and communities integrate technology with cultural and community insights. One of my most significant achievements was leading the Tuvalu National Digital Ledger (TNDL) project, where I collaborated with the Tuvaluan government to explore how blockchain can preserve their nation's identity amid climate challenges. This project was a groundbreaking effort to demonstrate the real-world application of blockchain technology beyond speculation, showcasing its potential for small island nations like Tuvalu.
I also founded Honā, a web3 accountability platform, which got funded by billionaire Tim Draper. I founded The Pack (now GSD Global), an entrepreneurial community that focuses on productivity and accountability.
My passion for community technology stems from my belief that tech should empower individuals and nations, not alienate them. My ventures are about harnessing technology for economic and cultural growth, especially for small or underrepresented communities.
Throughout my journey, I’ve also held roles as a Fractional Chief Community Officer (fCCO) where I support various clients—spanning industries like fintech, blockchain and AI—with community-building strategies. My clients, many of whom have a combined net worth of over $2.5 billion, rely on me for culturally sensitive, tech-driven insights that align their digital strategies with their core values.
Whether it's through CStack, a new proprietary tool at Faiā, or initiatives like Micro Empires — a newsletter for rising micropreneurs — I remain focused on how we can align technology to better serve humanity by balancing innovation with cultural integrity.
