As the first CEO of Snappi (Joint Venture between Piraeus Bank and Natech), I was in charge of a €40 million investment, cross-functional projects, and building the vision for a completely new digital bank focusing on GenZ and Millennials. My contribution in setting up the entire executive team, drafting the 5 year business plan, getting all the regulatory requirements right with Compliance, Risk & Internal Audit, active involvement in Product Strategy with superior UX/UI and seamless customer journeys, marketing and sales, was paramount in accelerating one of the most complex projects in Greece (the last time our local regulator granted a new banking license was 20 years ago). The vision of creating the first financial super app, offering not just every day banking solutions, but also BNPL (Buy-Now-Pay-Later) and BaaS (Banking-as-a-Service) made Snappi a true pioneer in the banking industry. As an Executive Member of the Board, I was handling all communication on shareholder level, utilising my stakeholder management skills, while motivating and inspiring the entire team in three locations to beat the world record of setting up a new bank at the shortest time ever while making sure snappi has operational excellence, a ready-to-deploy customer service with AI capabilities and automated processes across the entire organization. My contribution in sales was also substantial as we signed 20+ LOIs with high profile clients in multi-million € deals. With my passion in marketing, I also lead the entire branding effort from scratch, was the public face of the company in media and designed the overall marketing plan with an out-of-the box approach.
