A strategic CFO will be your course navigator, someone you can trust to be your co-pilot, an expert you can depend on to help make important decisions for your company. Whether your business is an early stage or an established enterprise, a strategic CFO is imperative to a successful company at any stage in its life cycle in order to strengthen a company’s financial foundation, improve performance, and accelerate growth. Companies who forgo a CFO until they “believe the company is large enough” will face roadblocks and red tape that can hinder growth and create obstacles that all companies want to avoid.

George Davis, to Evergreen, is a Strategic Advisor who is well-known for his success in investing, building, and managing biotech, IT, and software companies, often from the start-up stage. He is an active leader in the tech and innovation community, serving on a number of boards, including Betamore, UMBC’s Research Park Corporation, Association for Enterprise Growth, and the Fearless-backed Hutch Studio. What is little known about George is his work as a Johns Hopkins Cancer Survivor Patient Advocate.

In 2020 & 2021, George served as a Patient Mentor to the Orioles’ first baseman and designated hitter Trey Mancini, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer in March of 2020. Trey had gotten a routine physical for the blood draw showed that his hemoglobin and hematocrit were low. It was then that a colonoscopy was scheduled, and the tumor was found. After a year of treatment, he is now cancer-free. Trey is fortunate as colorectal cancer is the third deadliest cancer in the United States — after lung and prostate in men and lung and breast in women. What is not often realized is that half of all new colorectal cancer diagnoses are in people 66 or younger. The most challenging part is that those diagnosed with colorectal cancer often have experienced no signs or symptoms associated with the disease.
