Brief Bio

I sit on the Management Board of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue of the Hellenic Republic since 2022. I am also a member of the boards of directors of academic associations such as the Financial Engineering and Banking Society, where I am Assistant General Secretary; the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics, where i am a founding member, and the leading global finance francophone association, the French Finance Association (Affi), where I have also served in the past as VP and President. I also sit on the advisory Board of the HELLENiQ ENERGY Center for Sustainability and Energy @Alba.

I have served in various positions in the Academia. 

• As an administrator I have had the following key responsibilities: Associate Dean for Research, Director of Research Laboratory; Institute Director; Research Centre Director; Research Axis Head; Masters’ Programmes Director, and Head of Department. In terms of broader service, I have experience as Associate Editor and Editorial Board Member for several Journals and have acted as a rapporteur and reviewer for funding applications, organisations, journals, conferences etc. 

• As an Academic, I have achieved the rank of a full Professor of Finance since 2010 and I serve as a Professor of Finance at KFUPM Business School AMBA, AACSB. Prior to that I was a Research Chair and Professor of Finance at KIMEP University, Bang College of Business, and before that I served full time at Audencia Business School (2008-2023) EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB , and Durham University and its Business School (2002-2008 full time, and earlier as part time) EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB, while I have several visiting positions. 

As a researcher, I am Senior Research Fellow at the Financial Engineering Laboratory of the Technical University of Crete (2013-date); and an Economic Researcher at the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics (2023-date); and Resarch Chair at Bang College of Business, KIMEP University. My research is mainly on behavioral issues and efficiency applied to different areas (mainly in investments and markets in finance, banking and energy, but also local governments, the economy, sports, and decision making), as well as on social and green finance issues.

IMPACT 

IMPACT ON SOCIETY & BUSINESS

• Board of Directors: I sit on the management board of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue of the Hellenic Republic (IAPR). An organisation of above  70 billion Euro. "The mission of IAPR is to safeguard public revenue, by promoting tax compliance and combating tax evasion and smuggling, while providing high quality services to citizens and businesses" (IAPR website). The role involves approving and monitoring the execution of the Budget of 500 million Euros p.a., approving and overseeing the Annual Strategic Plan, nominating the candidate for the Governor of the Organization and monitoring the successful execution of their objectives.

Details provided on full CV.

IMPACT ON ACADEMIA

KEY MANAGERIAL POSITIONS

• Associate Dean for Research.  2020-2023; and 

• Director of Research Laboratory. 2018-2020.

During the above two positions I designed paperless and transparent processes; reduced research activity footprint; initiated public funding and other support and designed renumeration and evaluation policies aligned with the school’s aspirations and taking onboard accreditation and other stakeholders; feedback, represent the school’s research to all major accreditation and evaluations. 

Results (exact figures in detailed cv): 

The per faculty-member new public research funding income in 2018-2023Q3 more than trebled compared to 2012-2017 increasing by an additional 219%, while total research funding in 2018-2023Q3 more than quadrupled from 2012-2017 increasing by an additional 323%. 

The per faculty-member productivity in listed journal publications more than trebled, increasing by an additional 233%, while total research output more than doubled in quantity, increasing by an additional 120%, and more than quadrupled in quality with total listed articles increasing by an additional 362%, while the output per department was progressively balanced.

• Director - the institute of Finance. 2016-2018; 

• Head of  Department. 2015-2018; 

• Head of Research Axis. 2012-2016; and 

• Director of Research Centre. 2010-2016

During the above positions starting for 2010, I tried to enhance research culture in my area and at school level given my participation in the research and academic committees. Some examples: I successfully initiated a research seminar series; created a group of high standing visiting professors; helped recruit research-oriented faculty. I successfully proposed: research Thursdays (half days dedicated to research that were adapted School wide); the adoption of the ABS list to align our practices with our strategy for internationalisation; the adoption of DataStream database and initiated the demand for online Journal Access; circulated funding and research opportunities, organised and supported the organisation of events and visits, bringing in as much as I could my networks and those of colleagues, to enhance the academic dialogue and networking. 

The faculty in the broad area of finance not only became international, but also more visible, with a very strong research culture and contribution in teaching and research at school wide level. For example, it attracted a relatively large percentage the flagship programme students, had school wide initiatives but also produced most and in some years all of high-level outputs of the school.

• Director of masters programmes. 2003-2008

I revamped all existing programmes and created new ones and a spinoff; achieved FT-Listing; CFA partnership and ESRC accreditation; grew student numbers by more than 6 times while maintaining student quality; as a result offered very large net profits to the School; created processes; offered faculty and student trainings, trading simulations and support, a parallel programme of practitioner inputs, awards etc. that improved student experience and results.

RESEARCH IMPACT

My research is mainly on behavioural investments and the efficiency of different markets such as stock, bond and digital markets, banking and energy markets, as well as on local governments and sports. A large part of it involves sustainable and social finance (ESG, green finance, energy, poverty, inequality, illiteracy happiness etc.)
