About George
George Tsamouras is Capital Benefit Auctions' lead auctioneer and emcee — the voice in the room on the night that matters. Trained as a professional benefit auctioneer, George combines high-energy delivery with genuine warmth and mission fluency. He reads rooms, holds momentum, and executes the strategic plan Karen Wrege has built with precision and grace.
George works in close partnership with Capital Benefit Auctions founder Karen Wrege, operating as part of a fully integrated strategy-and-stage team. The strategy is engineered before the event. George brings it to life on stage.
His work spans independent schools, research hospitals, conservation organizations, and community nonprofits across the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The result is a fundraising experience that donors talk about — and numbers that boards remember.

"The best auction calls feel inevitable — like the room was always going to get there. But that feeling is engineered. The energy, the timing, the pause before the close — none of it is accidental. My job is to make generosity feel natural and urgent at the same time."
