What do you particularly like about your work at the SRB?

What I truly appreciate about working at the SRB is the opportunity to contribute to something that constantly evolves and grows – much like knowledge itself. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work across diverse and impactful ICT projects, and now, as part of the newly established Knowledge Management function, I get to help shape a new organisational capability from the ground up. I especially enjoy the balance between strategy and empathy – translating complex frameworks into tools that genuinely support people in their daily work. It’s not just about systems and processes; it’s about building trust, connecting people, and enabling collaboration in ways that feel natural, not forced. And being surrounded by smart, passionate colleagues makes the journey all the more rewarding. 

How does your work makes a difference?

My work aims to ensure that knowledge doesn’t stay locked in silos, forgotten in repositories, or buried in documents. Instead, it should circulate – reaching the right people, at the right time, in the right format – to support smarter decisions and shared learning. By creating the structures that allow knowledge to flow – frameworks, strategies, tools – and by embedding them in the culture of how we work, I contribute to making the SRB more agile, informed, and connected. Ultimately, Knowledge Management isn’t about controlling information; it’s about empowering people. And that’s where I believe real change begins.

What you like about Brussels?

Brussels is just exceptionally odd in a charming way! I love the stunning architecture and beautiful Art Nouveau details everywhere. I love running and walking in the city's beautiful parks or in the ones in the suburbs (some are well known, some are a bit more hidden, and others are very little known). I like that I can meet and learn new things from people worldwide. In addition, I enjoy discovering new spots off the beaten path: a private terrace, beautiful bookshops, and gorgeous views over the city. Finally, I like the happy hours drinking any of the famous Belgian beers (Kasteel Donker is my favorite).

Is there anything else that you would like to add? 

As a Greek, I like the philosophical quotes that apply holistically in life. My favorite is "Panta ri " (πάντα ῥεῖ; "everything flows") by Heraclitus (Ancient Greek philosopher).

Heraclitus says that all things pass and nothing stays and comparing existing things to the flow of a river; he says you could not step twice into the same river. That quote means that nothing ever is everything is becoming. All things are in motion like streams, all things are passing, and nothing abides.
