About

A wide arc, on purpose.

Service in the Hellenic Army. Then Bank of Cyprus. Then a decade teaching maths, physics and chemistry. Then scaling compliance organisations from 9 to 900 people across six jurisdictions. Now building products solo.

The breadth is the point. Discipline from the military. Communication from teaching. Deep operating experience in one of the most regulated industries on earth. And the ability to actually ship.

Few founders have all four.
