I started my career in Investment Banking and Wealth Management at a top international bank. After years of living aboard and being lucky enough to visit many different countries, my passion for finance was eclipsed by my love of travel. More specifically, I would seek out experiences that allowed me to travel and experience the destination as a local. It was especially important for me to experience the culture (traditions, food, etc) of the places I visited. After many trips to Greece, I fell in love with the islands, the people, the food(!), and the sailing. I realized immediately that Charter sailing was an incredible way to see Greece, and realized that it was the local crew and their knowledge of the islands that made the trip so special. With that in mind, I built relationships with incredible people in Greece and was determined to start a company aimed at people who want to travel and see the authentic side of Greece. Back in 2007, there was limited web presence for Greek sailing companies, so with the help of my co-founder and Athens-based Greek business partner (and friend) we launched www.greekseas.com. Since our launch, Greek Seas has grown mostly organically, through word of mouth, and positive reviews into an award-winning travel company that operates multiple catamarans.
