Could you update us on your latest professional developments?
I spent the last 4 years in Spain where my task was to rebuild the Toyota marketing organization post crisis. We made a lot of changes both organizationally and strategically which allowed us to become a benchmark in the industry, especially for digital and social media.
In July, I started my new assignment as General Manager for Lexus at our European HQ. My task here is to define the marketing strategy for Europe and help shape the global perspective of the brand.
What made you choose ALBA for your graduate studies?
I was looking for the best. I asked around and almost everybody I asked pointed me to ALBA. In 2001 – like today – ALBA is the best MBA in Greece for executives and those who aspire to become one. The simple reason is that beyond the exceptional curriculum, ALBA is always in-tune with the market and its ability to adapt and change with the times ensures what you learn is valid and useful.
Share with us your fondest memory while studying at ALBA
I’d have to say the meetings with my working group. We were 5 very different people but we always managed to get the job done – most times with the help of souvlakia, pizza and a few beers to celebrate in the end.
