Professional Profile
With nearly three years of experience in recruitment, I have developed a strong expertise in identifying and placing top talent within specialised sectors. My career in recruitment began at Selby Jennings, where I focused on recruitment for risk management roles, including operational risk, credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk. My primary clients were commodity trading houses, banks, and occasionally hedge funds. This role allowed me to build a robust network and a deep understanding of the intricacies of risk management in these industries.

Prior to my recruitment career, I worked in supply chain and logistics, which provided me with valuable insights into operational efficiencies and strategic planning. My professional journey began in the insurance industry, where I excelled in sales, honing my skills in client relationship management and strategic planning.

Why I Love Recruitment
Recruitment is a profession I am deeply passionate about because it allows me to make a significant impact on people’s lives and careers. There is immense satisfaction in placing candidates in roles where they can thrive and achieve their professional goals. Partnering with clients to find the perfect fit for their teams not only helps their businesses grow but also fosters a positive and productive work environment. The ability to connect people with their dream jobs and contribute to their success is incredibly rewarding.

Why I Joined Funds Talent
I joined Funds Talent to deepen my understanding of the funds industry and to expand my expertise in financial services recruitment. Working with Funds Talent allows me to engage more deeply with the funds space, including asset management, private equity, and hedge funds, broadening my horizons and enhancing my ability to serve clients in this sector.

Personal Background
I am half Greek and half English, and I have a profound love for football. Whether playing or watching, football is a significant part of my life. My favourite book is “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius, translated by Maxwell Staniforth. The wisdom and philosophical insights in this book have profoundly influenced my personal philosophy and approach to life and work.

Why I Enjoy Working in Luxembourg
Luxembourg is an exciting and dynamic environment for recruitment, especially within the financial sector. The multicultural atmosphere and the thriving financial industry provide a rich landscape for professional growth and networking. Being part of Luxembourg’s vibrant business community allows me to engage with diverse clients and candidates, making my work both challenging and fulfilling.
