Open Executive Boardroom
Episode 5
The riveting story of Christos Michaelides unfolds in the Open Executive Boardroom. The former Chairman of OEB and Executive President of the Cypronetwork Group, goes back in time and tells Nestor Vassiliou about his path towards professional recognition. He believes that his involvement with music has helped him a lot. A self-taught guitarist, he played and sang in dozens of Greek taverns in Nuremberg to make a living and finance his studies. In Germany he met the late Chrysis Dimitriadis, who was to trust him a little later. He grabs opportunities by the hair, pioneers, innovates and excels as he goes so far as to advise powerful political personalities and large companies. As a self-made entrepreneur, he has a lot to share with young aspiring entrepreneurs. A prerequisite for success, as he says, is “to put soul into what you are doing” and he notes meaningfully that “leaps can bring big changes, they are more dangerous, but that’s how business is”.
