After graduating from Harvard University with a degree in Applied Mathematics and Biology, I have had the pleasure to work as a strategy consultant for the Monitor Group in London working for clients in the financial services industry, the raw materials industry, and the fast moving consumer goods industry. In 2001, I joined Intracom S.A., in the company’s bioinformatics and Life Sciences IT Solutions division. In 2003 I took the big step and first acquired a company GENNET S.A. which works in the IT and telecommunications sectors. We implement wireless networks, e-government solutions in Greece and the Balkans, design and manufacture complete 'triple-play ' devices and develop integrated IT solutions for mobile and telecom operators In 2007 I founded another company (Positive Energy) that is active in designing and implementing Intelligent Energy Solutions, from renewable energy sources plants (mainly solar), to 'green' / energy efficient buildings. I am a founding member of the Greek Young Entrepreneurs society and responsible for the organisation's international links and activities. I participate and volunteer in NGOs that work for the environment and for Young Entrepreneurship and I have a passion for good wine, tea and food.
