I first became interested in the startup world back in university, when I started working on different side projects with my flatmates in London. From a mobile gaming app to a platform for ML engineers, I got involved in product management, user experience, and growth.

Even though none of these took off, they served their purpose well, as I realized one thing:

My passion is building products users love together with ambitious people.

For about six years, I worked as a Product Manager for two of the highest-growth startups coming out of Greece, joining their product teams early on. First at Workable, as the Product Manager of the candidate sourcing product line, and then at Blueground, to lead the booking platform.

I learned a ton by watching from the inside two early-stage ventures scaling up. Leaving a corporate job in London to join a startup in Greece was a bold move, but looking back, it definitely paid off.

I felt more people had to hear that Greek founders build world-class startups.

In 2020, I created a medium covering Greek startups, called Startup Pirate. It quickly became a reference point for the community with news, interviews with founders, resources, and surfacing job opportunities through a newsletter.

My passion to build a community around startups led me to Panos and George. When we discussed Marathon and their vision to help Greek founders build world-class companies, while putting community-building first, it was an instant match. I couldn't be more excited to join this journey.

With the launch of our third fund, I'm thrilled to step up as a Partner to continue building Marathon together.
