I was born, raised and educated at the 7th district of central Athens.

I started my European adventures in 1996 from Cambridge, UK where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Economics in 2000 from Anglia University followed by a Master’s Degree in Management Systems in 2001 from Hull University. 

For a number of years I worked in UK for couple of small companies after which I was employed for four years at RBS Group in Leeds as Customer Services Supervisor. At the same time I traveled extensively to all western European countries. 

In 2005 I returned to Greece and co-founded Means4 in May 2007 with the goal of establishing a company that offers leading IT solutions and services to SMEs.

Since 2004 when I was a volunteer for the Athens 2004 Olympics I continue to contribute to a number of NPOs. 

Since 2010 I have cooperated with many Greek universities by offering professional mentoring and work experience opportunities to graduates either as a professional or via mentoring for NGO Allilonet.

Since 2015 with a group of likeminded IT professionals I co-founded Epanekkinisis, which stands for “restart” in Greek, a non-profit action aiming to collect donations and to provide all students in primary and secondary education in Greece with second hand laptop computers.
