Nathanail Kortsalioudakis

A results-driven operational and project management leader with a unique career trajectory combining over 20 years of deep academic teaching and research in Physics with 9 years of hands-on experience building and scaling high-tech startups from the ground up.

I specialize in translating complex R&D into commercially viable products and have a proven track record of securing and managing multi-million Euro EU and National research grants (such as Horizon Europe). My experience has made me adept at navigating complex regulatory and financial landscapes, building operational frameworks from scratch, and leading cross-functional teams to deliver on strategic objectives, often without the support of a traditional Project Management Office (PMO).
