Mr. George Davidsohn – Founder and Chairman
Mr. George Davidsohn began his career in 1952 as an apprentice in Dean Witter’s newly formed Data Processing Department. Playing the professional on Wall Street during the daytime and the college student at night incredibly, he still found time for his real passion the arts - attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and appearing in several theatrical productions. Multi-dimensional, George is also a great baseball enthusiast therefore it came as no surprise that he had the opportunity to “try out” for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1954.

At the age of 18, George was promoted to Data Processing Manager and began designing systems for Dean Witter’s back-office operations.

Among some of his ground breaking innovations, Mr. Davidsohn designed and built the first computerized margin system thus pioneering automation in the margin area. Additionally renowned for coining the term “Fluid Seg,” he now enabled brokerage firms to track the securities that are freed up – in essence providing them with the power to track securities lending and borrowing. In 1967, Mr. Davidsohn sold Davidsohn Computer Services to Control Data who renamed the company BTSI, which soon after was acquired by Automated Data Processing - resulting in 98% of Wall Street operating off Davidsohn’s technology.
