About
I am a results-driven entrepreneur, UBO and founder of a fully integrated A–Z operating platform in Greece—combining a licensed and Bank-of-Greece–regulated NPL Servicer (EuPraxis FSI), an award-winning investment advisory and consulting engineering firm (AEGIS S.K.), and a principal investment/asset-management platform (PS ESTIA). Over 20+ years I have built, acquired, operated, and scaled businesses across NPLs, special situations, credit servicing, real estate, hospitality, renewable energy, infrastructure and corporate finance.
My Board / Advisor Value Proposition
I bring a unique blend of high-level access, origination intelligence, regulatory insight, and execution capability. I maintain direct channels with government, regulators, banks, corporations, and local institutional investors, allowing me to unlock opportunities, open doors, and identify hidden value early.
My strengths include:
• Deal origination & sourcing – opening doors at the highest levels
• Spotting undervalued, overlooked or distressed assets
• Access to government, regulator, banks, pension funds, corporates
• Entrepreneurial doer mindset – global thinking, local execution
• Decisive, bold leadership in ambiguous, complex environments
• Deep ecosystem of specialist subcontractors across all disciplines
• Proven ability to win mandates against larger “Goliath” competitors
• Leadership that aligns people, wins “hearts & minds”, and drives outcomes
Institutional Credibility & National-Level Mandates
Through AEGIS and EuPraxis FSI, I have executed some of the most significant mandates in the Greek market:
• Monitoring Trustee to the European Commission for all Greek NPL securitizations under Hercules I–IV (€62bn GBV) – with visibility across the entire country’s NPL ecosystem.
• Advisor to the Ministry of Investments & Development on the New Subsidy Investment Law and EU Structural Funds implementation (2021).
• Valuation Advisory to the Ministry of Finance for 6,800 zone rates used in the National Unified Property Tax (2021).
• RRF (Greece 2.0) Submission Lead for one of the first major proposals nationwide (Grecian Magnesite S.A.).
• Completed the Valuation Guidelines for projects under Development Law 4887/2022.
• PMO for the Bank of Greece on the national NPL Resolution Strategy, reporting to IMF, ECB, SSM, EC (2017).
• Strategic Partner of Duff & Phelps in Greece for the valuation of the 33% state-owned stake in OPAP (HRADF privatization).
• €1bn+ in EU grants secured for clients with 100% success rate (2010–2024).
• 15,000+ property valuations for IFRS, NPL collateral and large-scale portfolio reviews.
• €7bn infrastructure project due diligence & evaluation (2010–2024).
• Originated & executed €70m NPL acquisition for a capital provider (2020).
• Underwriting services on €300m GBV of NPL transactions (multiple years).
• Lead contender in a $1.3bn NPL securitization financing structure (2017).
