I am currently Head of Section (a.i.) at the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the EU, with 30 years of experience across research, industry and EU institutions. My expertise spans linguistic services, machine translation and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on bridging language technologies with business innovation and real-world applications. I have extensive experience coordinating teams and multilingual R&D projects and initiatives, and driving change in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Technopreneurship, an MSc in Machine Translation, a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer-assisted Translation and Language Learning, and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. Fluent in Greek, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian, and with intermediate German, I am passionate about multilingualism and impactful AI, and particularly interested in how emerging technologies can create practical value while supporting Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity.
