George Karayannis
Project Manager, business development, and Business owner in Αθήνα, Ελλάδα
I have been an entrepreneur since my early years. When I was 9 years old I set up a stand selling hand painted rocks from the beach at the Greek island of Chios. The outcome was EURO 3300 which I donated to a local community on the island. Since then I have moved on from being editor to my school newspaper, up to the position of Business Development Officer at PHOENIX GLOBAL FREIGHT GROUP.
I worked and studied abroad for 6 years, obtaining my BSc in Transport and Logistics and MSc in International business at Aston University. During that time I worked in Belgium for Becton Dickinson at their distribution center and in Greece as a Sales Manager at PHOENIX ECTS LTD. I am also IATA DG certified, certified GDP auditor & freight forwarding training officer.
Life and work in Greece can be described as challenging but until now I am rising up to the occasion grasping opportunities wherever I see them.
The definition of luck is where the opportunity meets the preparation and I am prepared.
