My anthem song:

Hobby/Passion:

Outside of work, I'm passionate about exploring new places, whether through travel with my family or discovering new unique restaurants with my wife, Lisa. I also find great joy in spending quality time with our two sons, whose curiosity and creativity are a constant source of inspiration. To stay active, I take every opportunity to get outdoors, especially for activities such as playing soccer, hiking, and skiing which help me recharge, stay focused, and bring fresh perspective to my work. 

People would be surprised if they knew ___ about me:

I am the first American born citizen in my family after my parents immigrated from Sparta, Greece. 

Favorite project at Keyrus so far:

Implementing Resource Planning & Vendor Spend Optimization for a Global Video-Sharing Platform. The goal; To modernize our client's workforce planning & vendor management by addressing critical inefficiencies across three core processes: demand forecasting, capacity planning, and cost management. We leveraged Anaplan to centralize these processes supporting 14,000+ vendor agents in 80+ languages and 3000 call center queues. It was extremely rewarding to see the impact our team was able to drive for our client’s WFS organization in such a short time. In just a year, we were able to successful drive out 12% of cost out of their customer support operations. Within Keyrus, I was also able to partner with an amazing team who were equally as invested in driving towards tangible outcomes for our client. When you put those two things together you're bound to have great outcomes.
