ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Maria Markopoulou
Founder, MariaLDN
Probably since the age of 5 I knew that I was born to lead and help others. I am someone who dares to be. I proactively spent a lot of time (and money) into becoming a better version of myself, every day. I always had a distinct ability to understand others on a very deep level and that helped me immensely in my career.
I am highly engaged and commercially minded, solving problems is what I enjoy the most and I make sure I take every detail into consideration before making decisions without hindering the speed of which decisions are made. I am considerate, personable and very comfortable with taking ownership of what needs to get done.
Throughout my career, I have worked with a diversity of people and have exposed myself to a variety of industries and P&Ls. Building relationships of trust is important to me, I listen and I am very good at understanding people and their needs.
I was lucky to be born in Greece but I have chosen to move to the UK 15 years ago, in order to fulfil my educational aspirations.
For the last 8 years I have been living in London, which I consider to be the greatest city in the world. I share my life with my partner, Kassandra (a notoriously smart data science leader) and we travel at every opportunity we can get.
MariaLDN was founded as a result of personal ambition and an innate need to work with inspiring businesses, because doing business, for me, is personal.
