“Giorgos is fantastic. He was one of the very first believers and supporters of Avocarrot from its launch to its acquisition by Glispa Global Group. I have been extremely lucky to have him as an investor and advisor, as I ve learned how the right partners can have transformational impact on a company. Giorgos is one of the sharpest and most experienced people I have ever met and I strongly recommend him to every tech entrepreneur who thinks big.”
