With over 20 years of experience in Public Relations, Strategic Consulting, and Event Management, I’ve built my career on crafting impactful strategies and creating meaningful connections. Throughout my journey, I’ve blended creativity with strategy to help both corporate and personal brands grow, always focusing on results-driven initiatives that inspire innovation and success.

Professional Experience

As the Founder and CEO of AriaPR, I specialize in public relations, event planning, and political consulting, providing tailored solutions to corporations, NGOs, and political figures. Managing high-profile campaigns and executing successful events has allowed me to elevate numerous brands and strengthen their presence in the market. Some highlights of my work include:

• Municipality of Athens: I spearheaded communication strategies, raising public awareness through innovative campaigns and media relations in Athens, Greece.
• Hatzikiriakio Child Care Institution: I played a key role in securing sponsorships and engaging stakeholders, increasing the foundation’s visibility across Greece.

In addition to my PR work, I’m the publisher of Wine Illusion, a platform where I dive into the world of wine, sharing content on wine culture, tasting experiences, and pairings. My passion for wine led me to become a certified wine connoisseur and a Wine Communication Consultant. Through Wine Illusion, I offer expert advice, travel insights, and commentary, enriching the experiences of wine enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Currently, I offer public image consulting services to both individuals and organizations, helping professionals and leaders craft personalized strategies that elevate their brand, increase their influence, and create lasting impact.

I’ve also contributed my expertise as a Business Development Manager to prestigious publications and custom editions such as Beyond Diplomacy, Hilton Magazine, Golf & Leisure, Greek Riviera, and Beyond Mykonos. In these roles, I’ve created content that captivates diverse audiences and enhances brand narratives, particularly within the hospitality, tourism, and luxury sectors.

Additionally, I’ve consulted for organizations in various industries, including medical tourism, food and wine branding, cosmetics marketing, and corporate event management. My approach combines branding, reputation management, and strategic communication to deliver measurable success, positioning my clients as leaders in their fields.

Social and Community Engagement

Beyond my professional work, I’m passionate about giving back to the community and contributing to cultural, academic, and philanthropic initiatives. I serve on the Board of Directors at the Centre for the Study of Dance Isidora & Raymond Duncan and am a member of the Centre for European Studies and Studies “Ioannis Kapodistrias,” focusing on international relations and European studies. I’m also a founding member and Board Member of European Horizons, a platform for fostering leadership and collaboration across Europe. Additionally, I am the founding member and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gnosis, an NGO dedicated to education and leadership development. As a mentor at WOMEN ON TOP, I empower women leaders to succeed in their careers.
