“When I arrived in London late August of 1996 little did I know that I would be here 22 years later. I spend my first 7 years in and out of Greenwich University where I completed a full course in Marketing and an introductory year in Economics.

In my last two years of university I co-founded my first company, Youth Creations Media Ltd. The company published and distributed a free dance music magazine in Greece with the help of a team of volunteers.

Simultaneously with my studies I worked part-time in the music industry as a DJ. From there on I dedicated myself to a marketing career and established my second company in 2007.

In 2015 I launched Social Media Status, a CRM for digital agencies combining client performance reports and business performance forecasting.

From 2016 my third attempt Digital Aesthetics is a dedicated agency for the Health & Beauty industry. And in 2018 I launched Caliston, a brand encapsulating 15 years of professional experience in the world of online marketing.”

Education

Education

1999 - 2003

International Marketing

University of Greenwich
I cherished my studies at the University of Greenwich Business School. I took my first steps here in understanding marketing and consumer behaviour. I was also very fortunate to study with an ambitious group that pushed me to excel in my final year.
1996 - 1997

BA Economics

Univercity of Greenwich
I spent one year studying Economics at the University of Greenwich before I moved on to further my studies in marketing. Whilst I developed an interest both in macro and microeconomics I soon realised that the course was not suited perfectly to my educational needs.
