For 30 years, Georgina Delimari resolved complex, multi-party, disputes in high conflict areas with major financial implications between Indigenous groups, industry, and governments. She engaged with community and business stakeholders to understand their views on significant public policy issues. She negotiated and resolved sensitive workplace and employment contract issues.

She is now a full-time mediator focused on business, community, workplace, and real estate disputes.

Delimari is comfortable in a cross-cultural setting and adept at deescalating highly emotional climates. She is extremely professional, often dealing with complex and ethical issues.

She is calm, gracious, listens compassionately, and provides steady guidance during the mediation process. This helps ensure the parties remain comfortable throughout the engagement as they attempt to find a resolution for their dispute.

Delimari mediates for the Conflict Intervention Service in San Francisco to resolve disputes in affordable housing that can lead to eviction or homelessness. Since 2020, she has focused on the impact of COVID-19 on these disputes. This includes achieving deferred rent repayment and early lease termination settlement agreements.

Delimari’s experience as a negotiator before becoming a mediator assists her to understand the parties’ interests and to employ advanced communication skills. She is able to set very clear boundaries while continuing to have frank discussions about highly sensitive issues.

This primes her to mediate residential and commercial real estate and workplace disputes in California.

She has a BA in Political Science (McGill University) and an MBA (Royal Roads University).

She also has a Certificate in Conflict Resolution (Justice Institute of BC), which provided extensive mediation and third-party conflict intervention training (200 hours) and practical mediation experience (40 hours).

She is proficient in using the ZOOM video-conferencing platform.
