A Legacy of Trust, Technology, and Transformation

Meet Our Founder—George Giaimo

When you’ve been trusted to help navigate a spacecraft, solving IT challenges for Hollywood doesn’t seem so daunting.


The story of Balboa Computer, Inc. begins with George Giaimo, a visionary who built his career at the intersection of pioneering technology and people-first service. George’s journey started in 1977 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where he joined the navigation team of the historic Voyager spacecraft mission. At JPL, he honed his skills working with massive mainframe systems—technology that, at the time, was on the cutting edge of exploration.



But George wasn’t just an engineer. He was a bridge between innovation and application. As the 1980s ushered in the personal computer revolution, he saw the future and made a bold pivot.

By 1983, George had earned his degree from the University of Southern California (USC), blending formal training with hands-on experience that few in the industry could rival. Shortly after, he joined a small company named BusinessLand, which quickly grew to become a billion-dollar enterprise. George’s combination of deep technical knowledge and a natural ability to communicate complex ideas to non-technical audiences led to a high-profile account: Paramount Pictures.

The Birth of a Company That Understood Hollywood

While working with Paramount, George noticed a consistent gap in the industry—technology wasn’t keeping pace with the unique demands of film and television production. Studios needed more than just hardware—they needed a reliable partner who understood both the fast-paced nature of entertainment and the critical role computers were starting to play behind the scenes.

So in 1993, Balboa Computer, Inc. was born.

George founded the company not as another IT service provider, but as a strategic partner to the entertainment industry. His vision was clear: create a team that could deliver tailored, high-performance technology solutions specifically for studios, production companies, and creative professionals.

Over time, the company grew, evolving with the industry’s needs. From basic computer rentals in the early days to today’s email administration, cybersecurity, and network management, Balboa Computer, Inc. has never stopped adapting.
