George O'Leary
As a committed executive in the finance industry, George O’Leary is known for his ability to focus companies on their core business objectives in order to achieve their strategic, financial, and operational targets. According to some of his peers, George is successful not only because he maintains constant control over spending processes but also because he maximizes professional relationships within every company with which he works. Currently, George serves as a board member and as the chief financial officer of HealthLynked Corporation in Naples, Florida (OTCQB: HLYK). He also heads up the company’s mergers and acquisitions and has raised over $6.5 million in equity.

George joined HealthLynked in August 2014 and took the company public on the OTCQB in April 2017. The company trades under the symbol HLYK. HealthLynked improves healthcare for patient members and physician providers through a sophisticated patient care management system known as the HealthLynked Network, a cloud-based online platform that allows patients to enter their medical history (i.e. medications, allergies, past surgeries, and medical records) into one secure location. While patients are not charged to set up an account and to access the system, physician providers pay a monthly fee for the service as it increases their online visibility, retains current patients, recruits new patients, and improves office efficiency. The HealthLynked Network also makes it easy to keep every patient’s medical information up-to-date and on track, despite the common complexities of healthcare such as multiple providers, insurance issues, or when a patient changes location.
HealthLynked is currently implementing an aggressive acquisition strategy that George heads, pursuant to which the company plans to significantly increase its revenues and profitability and uplist to NASDAQ within the next twelve months. HealthLynked completed its first acquisition in April 2019 and announced its second in February 2020.
In addition to his responsibilities at HealthLynked Corp., George also offers his expertise to other companies. Due to his extensive knowledge and experience in finance, he provides board representation and executive level management consulting to both publicly traded companies and privately held businesses.
For instance, George is currently the vice-chairman of the board of Timios Holdings Corporation. Timios is a private escrow and title insurance company in Westlake Village, California. The company that “exists to revolutionize and to simplify the real estate transaction by placing the consumer in control” finished 2019 with $45 million in revenue and over $5 million in profit.
George is also a board member and financial consultant for Referrizer, LLC, a private marketing automation company in Miami, Florida that offers referral marketing, reputation management, retention, and loyalty programs, as well as website, email, and text messaging marketing to local businesses throughout the United States and globally. The company has grown from a start-up to $1.5 million in annual revenue over the last three years while bootstrapping its capital requirements.
Most importantly, George is the founder and president of SKS Consulting of South Florida Corporation, located in West Palm Beach, Florida. He works with public and private companies providing board representation, financial and turn-around consulting, and executive-level management expertise. He also assists in the implementation and execution of each company’s strategic, financial, and operational plans. George is often quoted “hard work and dedication go far in both business and life”. The company was named SKS Consulting of South Florida Corp. based upon his strong Irish family history and the name coming from the gaelic translation of the sir name O’Leary as “Strong and Kings of the Sea.
Before starting his professional career, George attended Siena College in Loudonville, New York. While there, he studied accounting and was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Honor Society. He later graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
Upon graduation, George got his start in the finance industry as a senior accountant with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell, & Company (now KPMG International Cooperative).
