George Imafidon MBE is an award-winning humanitarian engineer and social impact leader from Peckham, South London.

George is CEO and co-founder of Motivez, an award-winning youth-led organisation founded in 2015, which empowers underserved young people aged 14 - 25 to access entry-level STEM jobs and become changemakers. They have inspired millions worldwide through their campaigns and directly supported over 9,000 young people in the UK over the last eight years through their grassroots, employability, and advocacy programmes where they develop local STEM changemakers transforming their communities. Their work has been highly commended and supported by the likes of Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE, Idris Elba OBE, Beyonce and the Royal Family where he received an MBE for services to young people and STEM.

In addition to his work as a social entrepreneur, George Imafidon also holds the title of the Young Engineer of the Year 2022/23, awarded by the Royal Academy of Engineering. As an advocate for sustainable motorsport, he works as the Race Engineer for Sir Lewis Hamilton's X44 Vida Carbon Racing team, where he won the Extreme E championship in 2022 to conclude his second season with the team.

His commitment to giving a platform to underrepresented voices was further evidenced by his appointment to the Board of The Hamilton Commission to address the underrepresentation of Black people in UK motorsport. He also serves on the Board of the Co-op Foundation and took a gap year during his university studies to fundraise for the #AB1Million campaign, raising £1 million for the Amos Bursary to ensure talented young people of African and Caribbean descent have the opportunity to excel in education and beyond.
