From $15 and a Dream to the C-Suite: The Rise of George Gresham

At 17, George Gresham ran away from home with fifteen dollars and a determination to build something greater. Three decades later, he’s led billion-dollar companies from the CEO and CFO seat — proving grit can outpace circumstance. On November 6 , Phoenix Rising Fintech launches its Leadership Series with George as the opening speaker — an evening built for founders, dreamers, and anyone rewriting their own story. He’ll share the moments that tested him, the mentors who changed his trajectory, and the mindset that turned adversity into momentum.
