Tell us about your educational and/or career journey since you graduated from Brunel?
I started working for the Greek Ministry for Economy, Competitiveness and Shipping, Special Secretariat for NSRF. Then I moved to Malta where I was working for a Bank for seven years as Corporate Credit Portfolio Manager. Wanting to make the best out of my working experience abroad, I decided to move back to Greece and, currently, I work for a Governmental Organization as a Consultant to the Governor.
What does a typical day at work involve for you?
Identify complex issues and weaknesses, actively participating in the planning, implementation and management of strategic projects in order to optimize the effectiveness of the Organizations’ services. I also monitor the progress of prioritized projects and coordinate the cooperation and workflow among the Departments under the Governor’s areas of responsibility. Furthermore, I prepare presentations, dashboards and executive summaries to be submitted to Public Authorities. Given my educational background in Law, I am responsible for the overview of Procurement Contracts in cooperation with the Procurement Department and the external Legal Advisor. Last but not least, I liaise with internal and external stakeholders.
What’s been the highlight of your career journey so far?
Working and liaising with people from different countries and various sectors of business and educational background.
