About

I’m George, and I usually respond to “Mak” in a room full of Georges :)

Born & raised in the tiny island of Cyprus, kicked my first football and wrote my first line of code there.

Then studied in the UK, BSc Physics & MSc Sustainable Energy both at Imperial College London. There I started seeding multiple dreams, one being to save the penguins the other becoming a CEO of anything.

In 2012, together with 3 friends from uni & the army, we co-founded Avocarrot – a tech startup specialized in mobile advertising. A true roller-coaster ride, which after 3.5 yrs led to an 8-digit exit.

The years following that have been a different kind of crazy ride where as VP Product at the acquirers company, I’ve grown professionally while scaling engineering teams & the core revenue-driving products.

The story still unfolds..
