Looking back on your career, what was the most important decision you made (or didn't make) regarding your career path?
There are actually a couple of important decisions when I look back on my professional career. The first was when I decided – after doing my ALBA MBA – to change from my career in law (after having been through a lot of reading, studies and pain J) to that in business. The second decision that I made is when I recently decided to join a young, dynamic, Greek company (that is Green Cola) and move away from the well-structured, “luxurious” environment of multinationals. A great experience with a lot of lessons still to be learned!
What’s the most important thing for recent grads to keep in mind as they start out their careers?
Be flexible with their available options, open their ears and always go beyond what others expect them to deliver.
What made you choose ALBA for your graduate studies?
The international outlook of the program is what attracted me to the school (both in terms of studies and professors). A choice I never regretted.
Share with us your fondest memory while studying at ALBA.
Not one to distinguish! Ι will always remember the fun, the family spirit and the stress we were all sharing. From early in the morning until late at night we were studying all together at the school, eating at Ilda’s or at Artopolis, hanging around Vouliagmeni’s streets (when Zahos was just a small souvlaki shop J), worrying whether the transparencies for our presentation will get the right print from the inkjet printer!!!!! I will always treasure those days at ALBA.
