Chief Technology Officer at Product-Led Growth Hub
Athens, Attica, Greece
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIoannis Papikas is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over a decade of experience building web platforms, APIs and product organizations from Athens, Greece. He blends hands-on PHP web development and systems design with product leadership—shaping roadmaps, OKR-driven strategy and KPI-backed delivery across roles from startup founder to director-level product management. Ioannis has repeatedly scaled teams and products (including a 200% month-over-month growth at StageYourIdea) while reducing data friction and improving conversion through analytics-driven experiments. He pairs developer rigour (PSR/SOLID APIs, Elasticsearch, Kafka) with operational ownership as a former release manager and scrum master, and he trains other product leaders through public seminars and classes. Less obvious: he still prototypes productivity tools and SDKs himself, keeping a developer’s craftsmanship at the heart of his strategic work.
