About

A historian who builds growth.

I read audiences the way I was trained to read sources: for what they believe, what they fear and what they will trust. Then I build the channels that reach them.

For ten years I've built organic acquisition into the main source of revenue for consumer marketplaces and regulated investment platforms.

At Stasher I built the SEO function from scratch, grew organic sessions from 180K to 1.9M a year, launched six European markets and grew the team from one person to eight. Organic became the company's biggest revenue driver and its lowest-cost channel.

At Wealthyhood, an HCMC-licensed neobroker, I was hired to run SEO and delivered 135% organic acquisition growth in six months. Then I widened the remit. I built Greece's first in-house fintech video studio, wrote the scripts and stepped in front of the camera. The channel reached 2M views and 10,000 subscribers in its first 12 months.

Before growth, I studied history, cultural anthropology and cultural analysis in Greece and Sweden, and wrote copy for the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center and FREENOW. I've written for The Guardian and Culture Trip, and I'm a Certified Investment Advisor (MiFID II).

Strategy, editorial judgement and on-camera delivery: I hold all three, and the results on this site come from using them together.
