ABOUT ELENI RETSOU

My background interweaves a diverse array of experiences, from pursuing Management Science to Philosophy and Politics, professional athletics, and a commitment in the hospitality industry, I posses a unique blend of skills and perspectives. My journey in Management Science provided invaluable insights, yet I craved a more robust framework that engaged critical thinking and had practical applications. This realization led me to embark on a degree in Philosophy and Politics, disciplines I consider profoundly instrumental in cultivating a nuanced understanding of diverse perspectives and practising analytical thinking, a skill critical in today’s business landscape. My career as a professional athlete instilled in me the virtues of discipline, perseverance, and the capacity to excel amidst challenges. Moreover, my extensive involvement in the hospitality sector sharpened my interpersonal skills, enabling me to navigate high-pressure situations and foster lasting client relationships. One of my defining experiences was contributing to a waste management project, exploring sustainable practices which intertwines with my passion for ethical and ecological considerations in business. My active involvement in volunteering, particularly in the aftermath of the refugee crisis in Greece, underscored the significance of empathy, resilience, and community engagement.
