EP#48: George Kontaxis, Co-Founder & CEO of Vivestia

The co-founder and CEO of Vivestia, George Kontaxis, wanted to create a platform that virtually depicts luxury vacation rentals, in order to facilitate the process of booking luxury summer accommodation in the easiest way.


👉 Vivestia does exactly that! 


Derived from the Latin word "vive", which means "live", and Estia, the Greek God of Hospitality, it promises a virtual depiction of unique villas and yachts that match people's needs and preferences and creates the feeling of already living there, before actually visiting the rental!


ℹ George Kontaxis holds an M.Eng in Engineering from the University of Patras and a MiM in Management from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, scoring in the top 3% of each class. He has 5 years of experience in multinational companies such as PwC, Coca-Cola HBC, and Motor Oil Hellas in Product and Project Management.
