George started www.skroutz.gr as a hobby project, having worked for several years as a freelance professional. He always had a soft spot for hardware but became professionally involved with software. Together with Vasilis Dimos they founded and operated Forty-Two, a company which was the backbone for the technical/programming development of Skroutz.
A few years later, along with the co-founders they have managed to grow Skroutz S.A. to a 200+ employee strong company which offers cutting-edge E-commerce solutions and is also renowned for its working environment. The company currently operates the leading price comparison engine in Greece and the subsidiaries www.alve.com (Turkey) and www.scrooge.co.uk (United Kingdom).
George holds a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technological University of Athens. He pilots small planes, likes to experiment with Arduino & 3D-printing and he is a proud dad of two, Apollon and Phoebus.
