"I've been at KPMG for almost 11 years now, all of them in the Tax Department, specifically in Corporate Tax. For those not in this field, that might sound scary. And maybe it is... That's how I felt on my first day at KPMG when I met colleagues who described similar long journeys. But here I am, in their shoes, seeing the 'newbies' on our team look at me with surprise.

But being here means it's not so terrifying after all. In fact, I'd say it's so challenging that time just flies by. I work in a dynamic field that's always changing, and our work has a real impact. For example, it's incredibly satisfying when a major acquisition you've actively worked on is announced, or when a client thanks you for helping them get established in the Greek market. You feel proud of the company, the team, the effort, the work. Every day is a challenge, and I feel that’s the key to keeping the team motivated.

As a Manager, I understand the challenges and difficulties during high-pressure periods. Having progressed through all levels in the same department helps me find the right balance. I try to lead with empathy, calmness, and kindness to create a good collaborative atmosphere. At the same time, my goal is to guide the team, so that we always meet deadlines, because at the end of the day, we all have one common goal: to get the job done right, in a human-centric and effective way.

After many years, I continue to learn, study, and evolve every day. Alongside that, I feel a constantly growing sense of responsibility towards my team, taking into account both the unique aspects of our work and the characteristics of Generation Z!"
