Jorge Garcia-Zuazaga

Founder & President, Apex Skin

Education: M.D.

What Success Looks Like to Me: Building something that lasts — a company that improves patients’ lives, creates opportunities for our team and makes Cleveland proud

What I Look for in a Leader: Integrity, accountability, humility and the ability to inspire people while still getting things done

If I Could Trade Places With Anyone: A professional athlete on a championship team to experience that level of preparation, teamwork, pressure and execution

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: Before dermatology, I served as a Navy flight surgeon for a Marine fighter squadron.

An Important Lesson I Learned: You can’t do everything at once. The key is choosing the right priorities, surrounding yourself with great people and executing consistently.

Outside of Work You’ll Find Me: With my wife and kids, traveling, skiing or thinking about the next big idea

If I Could Star in a TV Show or Movie: Top Gun — probably because of my flight surgeon/squadron days…miss the adrenaline rush!
