Athens

After spending my best years in the UK, studying Business Administration and Marketing, I decided to return back home in Greece and have fun by working for Athens 2004 Olympic Games (since I didn't manage to become a serious athlete!). Getting older and becoming more puzzled I followed the Insurance industry & here I am a trustworthy INSURANCE CONSULTALT! Tough one, but gave me the opportunity to serve customers as better as I can and consult them with professionalism and confidentiality. Due to this I decided to update my educational background by having another Master degree in Sales Management to enhance and strengthen my professional image again by trusting the british sun! One of my biggest loves, is to find solutions in every problem by helping the others and make them see the bright side of life! Cycling and Photography are coming next and bring me closer to Nature that I love, admire and fight for! My moto is coming from Socrates: "εν οίδα ότι ουδέν οίδα" = "I know that I know nothing", which for me is the honest acceptance of ignorance, that becomes the starting point of true knowledge. Another one also is the Japanese word "Kaizen" which means "good change" and is another word that I would like to carry with me, since the Japanese explain that Kaizen is the continuous improvement, large or small in both personal and professional lives.
