George with wife Maita at a brasserie in Paris.
As editor-in-chief, I have had the privilege of getting to know and learn from some truly amazing Canadians. It’s my honour that I could now consider some of them as close friends and mentors.
George and his wife Maita have been very instrumental in helping us navigate and appreciate Canada. Here’s his story.
After growing a six-figure business into a seven-figure business in just three years, George Verdolaga found himself at the crossroads.
He was an Economics graduate who had just generated some impressive growth figures with the business that he was running. However, he found himself yearning for something else.
After some soul searching and exploring many options, he let his inner-creativity transform his life.
“It was a very long road that started with a simple dream. I had just discovered interior design eight years into running my business which had become a big success. I decided to explore it and take part-time classes, and after a year, I thought ‘I really like this’, then I thought ‘I think I’d love to do this for the rest of my life’, which turned to ‘I think I’d like to learn from the best around the world’.”
