THE GOOD LIFE
Slow, quiet, simple life.

(long version)


Born in Cyprus.
A little rebel -and huge pain in the ass- from a young age. High marks + low behaviour scores. Cared more about hobbies & athletics than academics.
Consumed by tech through PC magazines and video games and decided to study engineering.

Hated maths and physics until they clicked and then fell in love with them.
Got into Imperial College London.
4 years at the Aerospace Eng dept.
Interned at Airbus’ Future Projects. 10 year design cycles were hard to swallow so I abandoned Aerospace.
Was lost.
Discovered Design though the RCA and transitioned from science to eng design.
Traveled to Ghana for volunteering and stumbled on my human. Have been together ever since.

Started reading about startups. Dropped hardcore engineering for good, decided to break into digital tech.
Countless rejections.

Emailed Roberto at InReach Ventures, a VC fund in London. Offered to work for free. We had coffee. He gave me a job as an Analyst and -in retrospect- the opportunity of my life.

With time I realised I wanted something that combined tech, design and business. I thought that was utopia. He pointed me towards product.
It has since become my abs passion.

Moved to Berlin to join Neufund, a blockcahin startup tokenising equity. Was paid in BTC. It was 2016.
Then back to London as a Technical Product Manager at Nexmo, a communications’ API company.
6 month traveling then moved to Singapore to join GRAB Deliveries as their youngest SPM.

Discovered freediving. Hooked ever since. Now 3x NR Holder.

Absolutely loved my PM career yet took a pause in 2021 to work on my own projects.

Onwards✌️
