About

After four great years at the University of Chicago (B.A PoliSci) and a one-year stop at the University College of London (MSc. Management), I kicked my career off as a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group's Dubai office, followed by 8 years at Uber in a variety of managerial, growth and operations roles. Currently, I am managing the venture between Dubai Taxi Company and Bolt, focused on building the UAE's leading mobility platform. Our mission is to make cities for people, not cars. When I'm not on the job, I help students prepare for job interviews, and edit their CVs/cover letters/college applications/you-name-it. This is my way of giving back. The rest of my time is happily occupied by going to the gym, playing padel, snowboarding (yes, Dubai has an indoor park), watching my Greek soccer team crumble on live TV, and being a cinephile. If you’re interested in grabbing coffee and talking shop, please send an email (or, LinkedIn message) my way!
