George P. Williams – President & CEO of A.G. Williams Painting Company

George P. Williams, President & CEO of A.G. Williams Painting Company with his older brother Arthur (Artie), started helping his dad out in the family business when he was a boy. As a young adult, he didn't consider his family's painting business as the path he would take and explored other options. But when his father and long-time owner, George A. Williams, became ill, George decided to join his brother in the family business.

At age 28, George and Artie began transforming A.G. Williams from a small, trade-oriented business into a large scale, service-oriented company. Annual revenues increased from $250,000 to over $3 million in just 10 years. He and Artie designed and oversaw the construction of their current office building in the mid-1980s. With his dad, he founded the GAW Management Company and became active in real estate investment in the tri-state area.

George is passionate about hiring and training painters to become expert artisans and craftsmen. The training and safety programs he and Artie instituted ensure that the company's tradition of excellence is carried out in all its work.

An active member of the community, George served on the Board of Directors for the Holy Trinity Church in New Rochelle, New York, in the positions of trustee, vice president, and president. He was a trustee on the Board of Directors for Sherman Park Little League in Thornwood from 1996 to 2004. George has been a member of the Executive Association of Westchester since 1988.

George lives in Thornwood, New York, with his wife Theresa, and has two sons, George and Nicholas.
