Gerard and his wife Ilana are the proud parents of three sons, and he is co-Chair of Leibler Yavneh College.

Georgia joined the Hearts & Science family in early 2021 and hit the ground running. Since she joined, the strategy division has doubled, and continues to grow as Hearts evolves its strategic offering under her leadership.

With experience ranging from FMCG to luxury fashion, Georgia has a true passion for her clients and absorbs everything she can about their industry, their consumers and the cultural shifts impacting the category. By getting to the heart of every client, she ensures that seemingly disparate trends are readily woven together and transformed into actionable insights and innovative planning outcomes.

Georgia's passion for the power of brands extends not only to delivering great products and services to their customers, but also to making a measurable impact on the planet itself. Despite 20% of all ads featuring animals, as a whole the advertising industry does little to help protect them . Since 2019 Georgia has been actively involved as a volunteer and strategic advisor to The Lion’s Share Fund, an innovate solution connecting the UNDP, conservation and corporate world that allows brands to give back when using animals images in advertising.
