Meet Tim. 

Tim's Story

Growing up just outside the nation's capital, Tim George learned from an early age about the power of ideas to drive tangible impact in peoples' lives. Tim's experiences steered his professional path to the intersection of private, public, nonprofit, and education institutions. Tim has been leading complex organizations since grade school; he loves turning questions into outcomes and taking on the biggest of challenges.

As executive vice president for innovation & collaboration at the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP), Tim contributed to the state's economic growth through his work and strategic initiatives with universities, nonprofits, industry stakeholders, and government agencies. Before joining CICP, Tim served on Indiana governor Eric Holcomb’s senior staff as his director of policy, where he built the governor’s legislative and administrative policy agendas and led the Indiana Office of Energy Development as interim director. Tim’s work as executive director of the governor’s Teacher Compensation Commission prompted a record increase in state education funding and numerous novel policy changes. He also managed and led various projects and task forces on topics such as innovation, data, racial equity, and economic development. 

Prior to his return to Indiana, Tim practiced law at Alston & Bird LLP in Charlotte, NC, counseling several of the nation's largest private equity firms and banks on acquisitions, IPOs, strategic investments, and financial transactions. Tim also worked for two years advising the University of Texas at Austin on higher education policy. In earlier government service, he spent two years as an aide to former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels and served in multiple capacities on Capitol Hill.

Tim has a law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, where he led the Texas Review of Law & Politics as editor in chief. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College in Illinois and was active in strengthening his alma mater's student culture and university leadership. Now a proud Hoosier, Tim is passionate about seeing Indiana thrive, and he serves on the boards of the Sagamore Institute and Shepherd Community Center. Tim lives in Indianapolis with his wife Lauren, their two very energetic children, and a puppy who wakes up too early and likes destroying kids' toys.
