Summary

With over 20 years of experience in retail banking and card payments, I am a pivotal leader in driving strategic initiatives and delivering valuable insights that support effective decision-making and business growth. As the Head of Business Analysis and Product Innovation at Nexi Greece, I oversee the analysis of complex migration projects to new issuing and acquiring platforms, identifying improvement opportunities and providing recommendations to enhance organizational efficiency and profitability.

I have accumulated experience as a product development and transformation project leader in several retail and digital banking areas, such as card issuing and acquiring business, consumer and small business loans, digital banking, ATMs management, contact center management, business intelligence, and bancassurance. My leadership capabilities in people and customer care management, supported by my marketing, product development, and innovation background, my strategic vision and business planning skills, as well as my business intelligence experience, have built a self-motivated banking executive expert in creating, inspiring, motivating, and guiding cross-functional teams.
