Petros’ LinkedIn profile

Looking back on your career, what was the most important decision you made (or didn't make) regarding your career path?
Most of the times when I chose to go out of my comfort zone proved to bring good results and evolution. Also, identifying my mentors and following them has always been important to me. I now try to become a mentor myself for my colleagues.
 

What do you believe recent graduates should keep in mind as they start out their careers?
One achievement is the starting point for the next one. Decisions are important, so are mistakes to become better.

What made you choose Alba for your graduate studies?
I wanted to join the best EMBA program offered in Greece. That was the biggest investment in myself. Finishing my studies, I understand fully the value that Alba brings to all its students and alumni. It has been the best decision for my career growth.
