Top SchoolGeorge Hadjigeorgiou is a seasoned engineer and entrepreneur with 16+ years building Skroutz, Greece’s market-leading e-commerce marketplace which he co-founded and now leads as CEO. He combines hands-on systems design—search, catalog ingestion, caching, and automation algorithms—with organizational engineering, having grown a 60+ person content division and led an MBO to return control to the founders. Technically fluent across .NET, Ruby, ElasticSearch and large-scale back-office systems, he built enduring infrastructure like self-learning “did you mean” search corrections and feature-extraction tools still in use today. Passionate about education and human-centered product design, he applies scientific, round-thought problem solving to teams as well as code. Based in Athens, he’s also a private pilot, a detail that reflects his practical curiosity and disciplined approach to complex systems.
