Nicosia, Cyprus · Operator · Advisor
An operator, not a theorist. Twenty years building and running businesses across six domains. Now advising, taking fractional GM roles, and shipping AI-enabled execution for the people doing the work.
About
A multi-venture entrepreneur and senior manager with over 20 years of international experience spanning IT security, agri-business, franchise development, distribution, and e-commerce. Builds and scales operations from the ground up — from founding niche distribution businesses to running large-scale agricultural and airport operations across multiple sites.
A genuine domain expert in sporting and hunting dog handling, leveraged directly in the specialist performance-pet sector. Combines deep operational expertise with hands-on digital and AI capability, EU regulatory knowledge, and a consistent record of executing across complex, multi-site environments — as an operator who has actually done the work, not advised from the sidelines.
What I Do
Each pillar is a thing I've personally built, run, or shipped — offered now as advisory, fractional management, or hands-on execution.
Build and run an online business end-to-end — store, payments, compliance, logistics.
Take operational ownership — set up, turn around, or scale a business across functions.
AI as the operating layer that multiplies everything above. Currently the way I run my own ventures; selectively offered to clients who want automation built by someone who actually runs operations.
Security and systems thinking from the foundations up.
Running real agricultural operations at scale — cultivation through commercial sale.
Two decades of hands-on sporting-dog training, handling, and field-trial experience — translated into commercial expertise in the performance-pet sector.
Ventures
The advisory is grounded in current operating reality. These are the ventures I'm running today.
