You've never seen this much energy, determination, and pure "go-getter" attitude unless you've met George Kalemkeridis. I worked with George at littleBits for over a year, and in my various roles as part of the education team, I collaborated with George to discuss strategy and best practices to introduce and integrate littleBits across higher education institutions. George is an expert at strategic thinking and knows how to generate and support large-scale projects, sales, and implementation models. George is knowledgeable, honest, proactive, and open to giving and getting constructive criticism. He is smart, hardworking, and knows how to get things done. George would make an excellent team member and be an asset to anyone who works with him.
