My Job

My role is to ensure that our clients are well-accompanied through the EU complex labyrinth, that they can benefit from the best intel, strategic advice, and opportunities to voice their interests in a timely manner!

It also consists of empowering the new generation of Public affairs consultants by exploring with them how to dig into regulatory analysis, analyse shifting political landscapes, and leverage networking opportunities while upholding the highest ethical standards.

My Experience

My initial professional experiences were at Vivendi’s legal office in Paris and with the Spanish legal firm Cuatrecasas in Madrid. In 2010, I joined the Brussels office of Lysios, a French Public Consultancy and progressed from being an intern to managing the office for 5 years. I then joined logos in June 2024 as Public Affairs Director.

My Proudest Achievements

My five-year experience as Head of a public affairs consultancy’s office in Brussels, overseeing and contributing to the enhancement of the team’s technical expertise, of the expansion of the client base and the range of services offered to them.

The courses and trainings I delivered, on ‘EU telecom regulation’ to law students (HEAD school in Paris) and on ‘EU institutions, budget, and engagement with decision-makers’, to several company executives.

My Education

  • MA European interdisciplinary studies – College of Europe (Natolin, 2009)
  • MA European Affairs – ScPo Aix-en-Provence (2005)
  • French Preparatory Class for Humanities – literature, History & Geography (2002)

My Languages

French, English, Greek, Spanish.

My Interests outside work

During the week, I am a Eurostar-rider and a networking enthusiast. The rest of the time, I am reading books in all the languages I am able to decipher, writing novels while exploring foreign places… And endlessly deepening my knowledge of the Greek modern language and culture.

My Favourite Brussels anecdote

A few years ago, I convinced a client to meet with a certain MEP, known for his experience and straightforward manners. My client, a representative of a mobility services provider, proudly sat in front of the MEP, who welcomed him with some hard feedback on how sh*… (too rude to be repeated here) my client’s services were. I melted…. Yet the two bonded over a very genuine exchange, and this was one of the most interesting meetings I had.
