Mitsotakis: A Blend of Business and Politics
Mitsotakis brings a unique blend of experience. Prior to his political career, he worked at McKinsey and Chase Investment Bank, providing him with valuable business acumen relevant to the startup ecosystem. A Harvard and Stanford graduate, with an MBA from Harvard Business School, Mitsotakis's education has shaped his vision for Greece's future.
