🎙️ In Episode 10 of the SCLA CEO Unscripted Speaker Series, we sit down with George Saad, a multidisciplinary executive, entrepreneur, and attorney whose career spans global leadership in finance, education, law, and family enterprise.
As Founder & Managing Partner of PLATZ Capital and PLATZ Juris, George brings decades of experience leading international operations, launching new ventures, and navigating complex markets with resilience and clarity.

Before founding his firms, George oversaw U.S., Latin American, and European operations for SEBIS Educational Systems, a 138-year-old family business founded by his great-grandfather. His journey from surviving civil war to becoming a global executive is a powerful testament to grit, humility, and purpose-driven growth.

In this episode, George shares insights on:

• Why curiosity is the real engine of success

• Surviving instability and how early adversity shaped his mindset

• The biggest myth about success he believed in college — and the reality

• What a year of isolation taught him about leadership, purpose, and self-awareness

• The pivotal moment that pushed him to leave the family business and build his own path

• The biggest challenge students face today: noise, distraction, and filtering what truly matters

• Why empathy is his workplace superpower

• Why students should pursue skills, not titles or status

This conversation is filled with wisdom for students, emerging leaders, and anyone looking to carve their own path with intention, courage, and gratitude.
