Bio

Yiannis’s moto is that technology can change the world for the better. As such and being a Practice Leader at Software Improvement Group, Yiannis helps international organisations managing their risks and costs related to either the procurement or the development and maintenance of their software systems.

In order to do this Yiannis (and his colleagues at SIG) is based on in-depth knowledge of software technology and solid analytics while keeping in mind the business goals of the organisation and the system under question. Apart from being a huge U2 and Radiohead fan, Yiannis holds a PhD from the University of Manchester, School of Computer Science. Finally, in his “spare” time Yiannis is a founding member of Orange Grove Patras, a business incubator sponsored by the Dutch Embassy in Greece to promote entrepreneurship and counter youth unemployment.

Last, but not least, in his “spare” time Yiannis mentors startups in technology accelerators like Founder Institute and incubators such as Orange Grove in Athens.
