Biography

Agribusiness Academy

Agapi attended the Law School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki form, graduating in January 2012. Agapi was attracted to the commercial sector and attended as many commercial courses as possible to prepare for the future. After completing her degree, she started working as a trainee and then as a qualified lawyer to a well-known commercial law firm. As a junior lawyer, Agapi sought a competitive and fast evolving environment, opting to move to London to attend an LLM in Commercial Law at City University London. After that, Agapi begun working in the shipping sector where she still works today.

"Coming from a family of growers at Greek countryside (Macedonia) with a long tradition in vineyards, I was fostered to respect the soil, the environment and the local climate. I grew up having a good knowledge of the seasons of the year and the needs of the seed. My family does what they know best, they cultivate the land they inherited from their grandparents. Our production dates back to 1936 when our land was bought and cultivated by our grandparents who came to Macedonia as refugees. My motivations are my memories; growing up to love the land and farming and combine hard-earned knowledge and expertise with continuous improvement. As a woman, not very capable of handling agricultural machines, I could not imagine how I could actively involve to the family business. Therefore, I followed the legal profession, as the commercial legal sector intrigued me. Now, I firmly believe it is the time to follow a new career path by combining my commercial and legal experience and my passion for agriculture with the knowledge of such a specialised course.

By learning the basics of Agribusiness Management I will be able to remain abreast of the key issues of agribusiness and will possess the knowledge to capitalise on the opportunities for growth and address the challenges of the sector. Wanting to be part of such a challenging market, I decided to apply for this program. It is my firm belief that the knowledge I will gain will help me cope with the demands of the agricultural sector. I envision a job in the agribusiness sector where I will gain valuable experience in order to be able to develop my family business to a bigger level."

Agribusiness Academy says: "Agapi is following a real interesting journey to become part of the family business. We're honoured to be a part of that story and cannot wait to see her impact in the business and beyond."
