Independent Non-Executive Director & Board Advisor
Technology · Audit · Risk Oversight — Greece & Europe
I have deep experience in regulated, technology-driven businesses across Greece and Europe. My board tenure includes 8 years at Viva Payments (Vice President) and Viva Bank (Board Member)—fit-and-proper approved by the Bank of Greece—and 6 years as Vice President of the Independent Observatory for Digital Greece. My 30-year professional experience brings independent challenge, technology & AI governance, and decision quality that aligns strategy with risk appetite, controls, and measurable outcomes.
-
Independent challenge & decision quality: sharpen choices, clarify owners and timelines, avoid aimless groupthink.
Technology & AI governance: translate complex tech into board-level risks and opportunities; ensure model, data, and change controls exist.
Risk & audit alignment: connect strategy to risk appetite, controls, KPIs, and early-warning indicators.
Regulatory horizon scan: brief, actionable implications (e.g., EU AI Act, PSD3/PSR) for the board calendar.
Vendor & partnership scrutiny: diligence on concentration risk, resilience, exit options, and accountability.
Crisis readiness: tabletop exercises (outage/ AI failures etc.) with playbooks and communications plans.
-
I operate with full independence. Confidentiality is absolute. Where a potential conflict may arise, I follow a clear recusal policy and disclose promptly.
