Looking back on your career, what was the most important decision you made (or didn't make) regarding your career path?

Decisions I took to change companies when needed, despite having a successful career in all and well established positions and jobs. Eventually this gave me the right diversification of experiences and the right push to new knowledge and belief in myself that I can undertake and succeed in new areas and more demanding roles. In other words, to grow.

What’s the most important thing for recent grads to keep in mind as they start out their careers?

That – at least in the beginning – they should aim only for the right quality and quantity of experience and not money. Money will come – for sure – after (and only after) they are able to offer specific value to their potential employers or customers. And they should keep in mind that real value cannot be (normally and for long) hidden, and if they really have it they will be rewarded for sure.

What made you choose ALBA for your graduate studies?

It was convenient to be available in Greece at the time that I needed an MBA, actually it was the only way for me at the time to get an MBA of such high caliber. The impact of ALBA in my professional career was and is very serious.

Share with us your fondest memory while studying at ALBA.

Actually my fondest memory is the whole experience with ALBA and ALBA itself. Looking back in time, ALBA changed the status of graduate business studies in Greece and set a new standard in the country. I was really impressed when I was a student that such a school was really next door to us. And I am talking 15-20 years back!
