After 16 years working for a chemical company and 15 years for an environmental company, George Nassos took early retirement to become the Director of the MS in Environmental Management & Sustainability program at IIT's business school for 14 years. After retiring again four years ago, he is now marketing a new onsite waste-to-energy technology. This June, he is launching an executive education MS program in Sustainability Policy and Practice, consisting of nine 1-week courses, offered three per summer on three Greek islands.
