Building since 1999
Since 1999, I've been quietly building companies in the gaps between technology and everyday life — networks of internet cafés, energy systems for homes across Europe, digital tools for hospitality, and now infrastructure for a new generation of gaming venues.
My approach is operational, not theoretical. I work with founders, family-run businesses, and partners who care about the craft of running something well. Strategy without execution is decoration.
The best businesses are built slowly, by operators who treat their customers like long-term partners — not transactions.
Digital tools for modern hospitality. QR menus, online table reservations, hotel booking engines — built for restaurants and hotels across Greece, Cyprus, and Bulgaria. Trusted by 200+ venues.

The tech backbone for gaming cafés. ZFS-powered file servers, automated game delivery, 24/7 NOC monitoring — managed by operators with 20+ years in the field.
cafepilot.eu
The original — a modern internet café network that set Greek industry benchmarks in technology, marketing, and operational excellence.
gnet.gr
Professional cooking at home. Curated kitchen equipment that brings restaurant-grade performance to everyday kitchens.
mantemeniotigani.gr
Renewable heating systems and premium cooling solutions, distributed through a network of 40+ websites across Europe under Energy Economy LTD.

The seed of everything that followed. Matrix was the first internet café — a hands-on education in operations, customer service, and the mechanics of running a venue that people actually want to spend time in.
Opened the first Gnet-branded store and started building the chain. Set the technology and marketing benchmark for internet cafés in Northern Greece, scaling lessons from Matrix into a repeatable operating playbook.
Diversified into energy with premium heating and cooling solutions. Built a digital distribution network of 40+ websites across European markets.
Curated kitchen equipment that brings restaurant-grade performance into everyday kitchens. Sold direct through mantemeniotigani.gr.
Took two decades of internet café operating knowledge and packaged it into a fully managed infrastructure stack for modern gaming venues across Europe.
QR menus, online table reservations and hotel booking engines — built for restaurants and hotels across Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria. Trusted by 200+ venues at launch.
Whether you're entering the café industry, expanding your heating & cooling business, or exploring digital tools for hospitality — I'm happy to share what's worked, what hasn't, and where the real leverage lies.
