“‘Everything flows’ – Heraclitus. That phrase has stayed with me since childhood. I grew up on Heraclitus Street, and when I once asked my parents who he was, they answered with that quote. At the time, I didn’t understand it, but now, I feel like it defines me.
My professional journey began in the banking sector in London. At the same time, I was going through my own personal transformation: new country, new language, new routines. I learned that change isn’t something to fear, rather a natural part of growth.
After seven years abroad, I felt it was time to seriously consider returning to Greece. It wasn’t an easy decision. I wondered whether I’d find a role that truly made use of my experience and skills, or if there was a dynamic environment here with room for growth, open to fresh ideas and a mindset of change. I also had doubts about how much trust would be placed in younger professionals, and whether collaboration would be genuine or just a matter of hierarchy. On top of all that, I wasn’t sure how I’d readjust to life in Greece after so long away.
Still, the need to reconnect with Greece was strong. And in the end, I was pleasantly surprised. The transition was smoother than I imagined, mostly because of the people I met. Colleagues who share the same passion for growth, teams built on trust, transparency, and shared purpose. I didn’t have to leave behind what I’d learned abroad. On the contrary, I found the right environment to build on it, evolve it, and share it.
At KPMG, I found a place where innovation and progress are part of everyday work. I’m part of teams that help organizations transform by combining technology with strategy. No two days are the same, and that’s exactly what makes this role exciting.
What inspires me most is that in our team, the phrase ‘we’ve never done this before’ doesn’t mean ‘it can’t be done.’ It means ‘let’s figure out how.’ Every new project is a chance to learn, to experiment, to push yourself further.
To me, change isn’t a threat, it’s an opportunity. And at KPMG, those opportunities are always around.”
