From hospitality to entrepreneurship

A degree in hospitality management was something that I dreamed of from the age of 15. I was always fascinated by the idea of working in a hotel environment as it did not seem boring, which I found out later on in my professional career, that there was never a dull moment indeed. 


I have actually graduated from Alpine Centre twice, first as a 20 year old with a great ambition of climbing the career ladder which I set out to accomplish right after completing my Swiss Diploma in Hotel & Tourism Management. What Alpine had taught me back then was that “the sky is the limit” and although I was very shy during my teens, Alpine taught me to have confidence and to believe in myself. For me that was the most valuable life lesson. Second time around as a student came after my 5 year experience in the hospitality industry, having worked in the Sales and Marketing departments of top Greek hotel chains.

I returned to Alpine as a mature student to complete my Masters in International Hospitality and Tourism Leadership on a part time basis. This work and study balance was a great decision as I was mature enough to know exactly what I wanted and how I could apply the newly gained knowledge and experience in order to reach new levels that I had set to achieve. A few years after completing my Master’s degree I was ready to tackle new challenges, the idea of becoming an entrepreneur was very tempting, thus I followed this road and I can say that until today, by far it was the best decision I have ever made.
