George Rogers

George has been with HOPS for more than 16 years, having been hired as one of the first employees. During that time, he has held nearly every position in the company with the exception of accounting and HOPS core technologies. George started his career with HOPS as a technical liaison assisting with client implementations and along the way, helped win some of the company’s largest clients including Liberty Mutual and Kaiser Permanente.

In his current role, George is in charge of business development for the healthcare team, working to identify fraud against his clients. To date, he and his team have helped commercial and government clients identify more than $1 billion in healthcare fraud.

Prior to HOPS, George was a consultant for PlanGraphics, a GSI consulting firm. There, he was responsible for sales and technical implementation of GSI solutions for his clients. George led teams that were responsible for guiding clients in RFP preparation and evaluation for states, municipalities and utility companies. One such client was the Monroe County Tax Assessor, which requested that HOPS be included in the evaluation and led to George shortly thereafter coming on board at HOPS.

Before PlanGraphics, George was a Vice President at Computer Smith, a company working in user interface technologies for civil engineers, where he oversaw sales, marketing and engineering. He also oversaw design and production of a complex documentation suite based on software he wrote to merge Microsoft Word documents with various graphical exhibits at a time when such page design software was just being created. George was responsible for the design and implementation of personal computer networks at a time when it was more of an art form than today’s plug-and-play environments.

George started his career with Apollo Computer, one of the first companies to create the computer workstation, where he was an engineer working with the user interface and computer graphics for the workstations. In his time there, George was responsible for the implementation of the Core Graphics System, then a 3D modeling standard which he had helped design as a research assistant at George Washington University working with Professor James Foley. George made numerous contributions to the Apollo user interface, which pioneered the commercial application of research on graphical user interfaces (GUI) done at Xerox PARC

George received a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky and a Masters in Computer Science from George Washington University.
