About George O'Neill<\/h4><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”7923″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”]
<\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top” el_class=”small-10 small-centered columns”]George holds the Institute of Corporate Directors,<\/em> Director (ICD.D) designation and earned an MBA degree from Queen’s University<\/em> focused on marketing and finance, as well as BSc and MSc Mechanical Engineering degrees from UNB<\/em> specializing in systems engineering and artificial intelligence.\u00a0 He has also studied at the China Europe International Business School<\/em> in Shanghai, \u00a0and at\u00a0Harvard<\/em> and MIT <\/em>in Boston.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His deep experience in real estate has been gained over four decades. From pre-teen to young adulthood he repaired and maintained properties for others while observing first-hand investor and market behaviour.\u00a0 This led him to purchase his first investment property while attending university, which he coincidentally still owns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

George has also worked in other businesses, including electric utilities, high-tech manufacturing, aerospace and consulting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not wanting to be an absent husband and parent to two young daughters, George left a senior management consulting role at a global professional services firm to become a Toronto real estate broker in 2007 staking his future on his ability to sell. \u00a0Within two years he founded his own real estate brokerage.\u00a0 In 2015 he was approached to resolve a critical partnership issue concerning a real estate trade association’s $8 billion multiple listing services marketplace, which as CEO he resolved over the following four years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In early 2019 seeing the potential for blockchain, artificial intelligence and related web 3.0 technologies to create a better experience for consumers during real estate transactions, George returned to his entrepreneurial roots and founded main st labs<\/em><\/a> and NxtHm<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

George is active in Toronto’s technology community, is a member of the Founder Institute<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Institute of Corporate Directors<\/a> and is a proponent of life-long-learning. \u00a0His MSc Engineering thesis in artificial intelligence is titled \u201cDevelopment of a Digital Stereo\u00adVision System for Robot 3D Tracking\u201d and is available at\u00a0Library and Archives Canada.<\/a><\/p>\n
