I was born in 1996 in Athens, into a family that faced significant financial challenges. From an early age, I learned to navigate life’s basics—seeking love, acceptance, and a sense of purpose—while building resilience and determination.

1996

ATHENS
2014

ATHENS
Finishing high school marked a turning point. I began working to support myself, starting as a dishwasher in a busy Athens restaurant. Later, I delved into Network Marketing, where I discovered the art of understanding people’s needs, communicating effectively, and building strong teams. These early experiences shaped my entrepreneurial mindset and taught me the power of connection.

UK
In 2017, while serving in the army, I took a leap of faith and entered an entrepreneurship competition. Winning not only validated my potential but unlocked an opportunity to join an accelerator program in the UK.

Arriving in London with little more than determination, I faced one of the biggest challenges of my life: homelessness. For a period, I slept wherever I could while searching for a place to live and work. That period of uncertainty tested me in ways I could never have imagined, but it also taught me the importance of perseverance, resourcefulness, and appreciating every opportunity. It was a defining moment that shaped the person I am today.
Through it all, Dare to Dream Different became my guiding principle. It was the only thing I had—an unwavering belief in the power of dreaming beyond limitations. This mindset pushed me to keep moving forward when everything seemed impossible.
Balancing long days in the accelerator program with evenings working as a waiter, I learned to value every second and every chance to grow. Winning the program inspired me to launch my first business venture. Although the partnership didn’t succeed, it sparked a vision: to empower entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams by providing them with the tools, guidance, and support they need.

From those early days, I began helping others take their first steps. With my initial success, I established my own business and have since helped over 100 entrepreneurs transform their ideas into thriving ventures. My mission is clear: to create opportunities, inspire action, and deliver lasting impact.

Today, I collaborate with leading global accelerators, mentoring entrepreneurs and guiding them to unlock their full potential. I know firsthand that success is built on challenges, determination, and the courage to keep moving forward.
In my free time, I find inspiration in playing guitar, strategizing over a game of chess, and connecting with like-minded people who share a passion for innovation and growth. Every meaningful conversation and bold idea continues to fuel my journey of creating impact and empowering others. Dare to Dream Different isn’t just a mantra—it’s the story of my life and the reason I continue to dream.
