'drawn to adventure and the sea'

My Story

From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to adventure and the sea. Growing up in France, with half of my family hailing from Greece, my love for the ocean has been a defining part of who I am. I started competitive swimming at the age of seven and pursued the sport at a high level for more than 10 years, which eventually led to a professional career in swimming, rugby, and CrossFit.

Alongside my athletic career, I obtained a Master of Science from SKEMA Business School and spent over a decade as a private personal trainer. During this time, many of my clients were connected to the yachting industry, keeping me closely tied to it. That constant exposure fueled my desire to officially join the industry, and when I did, I had my sights set on Y.CO, knowing it was the perfect place to combine my passions.

My Passion

I’ve lived in both the United States and Sweden, always seeking new experiences. While in Sweden, I challenged myself by swimming 100 meters in a frozen lake. I also pulled a 2-ton car over 2.2 kilometers to raise money for a seafarer charity supported by Y.CO. My love for the sea and adventure eventually led me to work as a personal trainer and deckhand on an 80-meter yacht, deepening my connection with the industry.

Adventure, challenges, and the sea have always been at the heart of who I am, and through my work at Y.CO, I look forward to continuing this journey and making a lasting impact in the yachting world.
