The Open Executive Boardroom is home to one of the most successful, self-made and multifaceted entrepreneurs. The former president of OEB and president of EAC, Giorgos Petrou, describes to Nestor Vassiliou his turbulent, but full of successes. An entrepreneur with vision, passion and an endless thirst for development. He reveals the challenges, strategies, and willpower that led him to the top. From his first steps, the difficult years, the two times his family started from scratch, his rise to BP and Shell, to the creation and development of iconic companies such as Peta, Peta Plastics and Staroil. He refers to the difficulties of competition, but also to unforeseen situations such as the arson that completely burned down his factory in Jordan and the great challenges he faced in the economic crisis of 2012-13. He explains the “incredible” for many business moves that established him and does not hesitate to refer to EAC’s big bet and his vision for the solution of the energy problem. It tells the story behind the name of Peta and Staroil, highlighting the simplicity that is often hidden in the most successful ideas. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
