About the speaker:
Dimitris Tsakos was born and raised in Chalkida. He studied in Athens University and Economics and Business in Department of Management Science and Technology and he completed his MBA in Holland. His origin is Greek-Irish and that fact gave him the "virus" of travelling (firstly in Ireland and later in Europe, America and Asia). His trips make him particularly poor in money but rich in experiences! He has the habit to observe the social mechanism of the places he visits and especially the way that people consider themselves as part of the society. The differences help him understand what leads some societies to growth through a continuous running race and others through simple and smart organization. His working experience is mainly in start-up companies as member of the founding team, fact that makes him have an opinion about everything, sometimes in an annoying way! Lately, he actively participates in the creation of "Investors Club Greece", a platform that brings together international investors and Greek enterprises that want to make a breakthrough for their development.
