Building a Legacy of Leadership and Learning

At the intersection of finance and philanthropy stands George Weiss, a man whose career has embodied the power of leadership with purpose.

For decades, Weiss built a reputation as a hedge fund pioneer — an innovator who valued discipline, ethics, and foresight. But his impact didn’t stop at Wall Street’s edge. Beyond the trading floor, he became a force for good, using his resources to empower communities through education and healthcare.

Weiss’s approach to philanthropy mirrors his investment philosophy: think long-term, act with intention, and measure success by impact, not headlines. His founding of Say Yes to Education has opened doors for thousands of students, proving that one person’s vision can transform entire cities.

Today, George Weiss continues to inspire a new generation of leaders — in finance, in business, and in public service — to pursue success with substance. His story reminds us that the most valuable currency isn’t money, but meaning.

Because at the end of the day, legacies aren’t built on balance sheets. They’re built on lives touched, opportunities created, and the belief that every child deserves a chance to say “yes” to their future.
