Speaker:

George Logothetis, Executive Chairman, Libra Group

“Concordia is still, after all these years, a fountain of ideas conceived in optimism, however, let's not forget the mountains Concordia had to climb along the way, for nothing of value and enduring relevance is easy.” George Logothetis

  • Importance of Resilience and Faith: Resilience and faith are fundamental to overcoming challenges, both personally and as leaders. The speaker emphasizes the unshakable belief in possibility, even when hope feels scarce.
