George Fatheree
George Fatheree is the founder and CEO of Oro, a Los Angeles public benefit corporation that brings housing support into the workplace as an employee benefit. A former Big Law real estate partner at Sidley Austin, Munger Tolles & Olson and Skadden, he is best known for engineering the historic return of Bruce's Beach to the Bruce family in 2022, the first time in U.S. history that land seized through racially motivated eminent domain was returned to a Black family. He now applies the same financial and legal machinery to closing the wealth gap at scale, raising $3 million in early 2026 to launch Oro's housing wellness platform.
