Correspondent for Greece and Cyprus

The Financial Times, Belgium

I’m the Greek and Cyprus correspondent of The Financial Times. Before that, I was the chief EU correspondent in Brussels for Greece’s leading newspaper “KATHIMERINI” and TV station “SKAI”. During my time in the Belgian capital, I covered extensively the Eurozone crisis with a focus on Greece’s debt crisis and bailout negotiations. My coverage of the Greek crisis received an award of journalistic excellence and I also co-authored a book on the issue, published in English and Greek, which received widespread critical acclaim and has sold over 50,000 copies in its first six months.
Before my posting to Brussels, I accumulated 10 years of experience as an investigative reporter, covering topics across corners of the world, from the U.S. to Haiti, Argentina and Egypt. I have interviewed heads of state and international institutions as well as other leading figures in politics, civil society and business. I frequently moderate high-level panels and have appeared as an expert on the Eurozone and Greece in many leading international media such as BBC News and Radio, SKY News as well as on CNN’s Christiane Amanpour program.
