George Chamoun

Vice Chairperson, Launch NY

About

George Chamoun co-founded Synacor straight out of college and scaled it from a student startup to a public company over nearly two decades, then made the uncommon transition from angel investor to full-time CEO at ACV Auctions before taking it public. He serves as Chairman of Launch NY while simultaneously leading ACV Auctions as a publicly traded tech CEO, combining hands-on company building experience with regional venture leadership in Upstate New York rather than relocating to coastal hubs.
