Theofilos Vasileiadis - Μικρός ήθελα να γίνω ταξιτζής
BUSINESS CREATOR
In the summer of 1997 Theofilos Vasileiadis started a journey, full of intense and passionate moments, by founding the on-line recruitment company Kariera in Athens, Greece. In the following years to come, with Fanis Rigas as a co-pilot, he led a group of extraordinary talented and creative individuals in launching and growing businesses, in Greece, Romania, Italy, USA, India and currently Dubai & Saudi Arabia. His business acumen was acknowledged (jointly with Fanis) by the Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, awarded by the President of the Greek Republic. His fundamental challenge these days is balancing between the perfect storm of ideas raging in his head and his two children (21 months old Celia and 3 months old Stefanos). He never hesitates to leave business aside and focus on pursuing fresh knowledge, as at his time in Harvard Business School in Boston, where he spent 3 months before graduating from the Owners-Presidents Management Program or his current commitment on studying Greek Civilization in the Greek Open University. He will never forget the afternoon he first thought of founding a start-up, the 2 weeks he spent in Malawi with the Millennium Promise team, the first time Celia walked and the first time Stefanos laughed.

Seizing the opportunity the TEDx platform provides to Academic Institutions, we decided to organize the first TEDx event in a Greek University and introduce students to the concept of ideas worth spreading. The Athens University of Economics and Business is a place where the new generations of managers, marketers, developers, economists, entrepreneurs are being educated, and most importantly, a space where young people can interact, experiment and create new aspects and prospects of the Greek and not only economy and society. It is a unique environment to deliver a high quality TEDx experience from youth to youth, and have an actual impact and change to the students' life and community.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
