Summary
Vaios Kolofotias is a product consultant and strategic advisor with 12+ years of professional experience and a rare blend of 15 years as a senior full‑stack developer and 8 years in product leadership. He builds mission-driven digital products that sit at the intersection of technology and human needs, from Europe’s first MOOC platform to AI-powered wellness tools like Dreamarium. Comfortable bridging C-level strategy and hands‑on engineering, he has led cross-functional teams of 14+ and shipped marketplaces, social networks and EU‑funded education platforms serving thousands of users. He pairs technical depth (React, Node.js, Python, OpenAI/Midjourney integrations) with disciplined product practices (PMP, Stanford PM training, OKRs) to turn discovery into measurable outcomes. A community-minded builder, he has grown freelancer marketplaces and fostered AI founder networks while keeping a responsible approach to AI that augments creativity rather than replaces it. Based in Berlin, he seeks opportunities where product thinking and technical execution can drive real social impact in education, health, sustainability or social justice.
