Professional Experience

Entrepreneurship

  • LYSEIS Ltd. Advanced Information Technology Systems (1998 –2004)

Founding member and managing director of LYSEIS Ltd Advanced Information Technology Systems. LYSEIS was a spin-off company dedicated primarily to build, market and support complex legality and scheduling information systems. The main product of Lyseis was fREeDOM (fast REgulation Definition and On-line Manipulation) system, a descendant of the DAYSY Rule Handling System, developed in the context of the DAYSY ESPRIT project at University of Patras.
