About
With a robust background in computer engineering from the University of Patras, I have developed a comprehensive career in business analysis and product management. My journey began as an Application Consultant at DATAMED SA, where I honed my skills in hospital information systems. I then advanced to Intrasoft International, managing projects across Greece, the EU, and Africa. At QUALCO, I led a team of business analysts, focusing on non-performing loans management and ensuring seamless client transitions. My role as a Senior Business Analyst further solidified my expertise in requirement analysis and project management. Currently, as a Product Manager at the World Health Organization, I oversee the development and rollout of critical platforms, enhancing agile processes and stakeholder engagement. My career is marked by a commitment to translating complex requirements into actionable solutions, ensuring timely and effective project delivery.
