Looking back on your career, what was the most important decision you made (or didn't make) regarding your career path?
Every time I accepted a new challenge and took the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone. Whether successful or not, you get tons of new challenges and you learn a lot!
What’s the most important thing for recent grads to keep in mind as they start out their careers?
Two things come to my mind, which I believe are relevant regardless of the career someone chooses to follow: Stay true to your values and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.
What made you choose ALBA for your graduate studies?
Having studied Finance and having worked as a fund manager at the beginning of my career, I was looking for an MBA to help me sharpen my business skills and enable me to make a move to more "business" roles. I had heard very positive things about ALBA from other alumni. Dean Travlos, whom I knew from my undergraduate studies at the University of Piraeus, was an important reason for trusting ALBA. His academic reputation, his energy and devotion in teaching were guarantees. I am glad to say that my studies in ALBA exceeded my expectations!
