George Jacob

In 2007, he led the production of the Smithsonian's 1812 Star Spangled Banner exhibit and later founded India's premier Khalsa Heritage Center, a 650,000 sq.

In 2018, he proposed a $260 million renovation of the Aquarium of the Bay into the Climate Resilience and Ocean Conservation Living Museum in San Francisco, and hired Jill Biden to deliver the keynote.

[8] Fundraising for the project continued through his tenure at the aquarium, but the 'Bay Ecotarium' was abandoned after the application permits expired in 2022.

He was pressured by the organization's board to resign in May 2024, after financial concerns from the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums caused them to revoke the aquarium's accreditation and staff members raised concerns about his spending habits on personal expenses using the charity's money.

In November 2023, Dr. George delivered a keynote on Climate Awareness & Action at the International Council of Museums meeting in Paraguay.
