Digitalisation of the Greek PES
Manage episode 333989233 series 3370242
The PES Network has benefited from different experience all over the EU. Before returning to his native Greece, Dr. Spiros Protopsaltis spent 24 years in the US as a Professor and adviser to a US Senator working with the Obama administration before coming back to serve Greece as Head of its PES Network. Greece famously suffers from higher unemployment levels than the EU average, but when Covid hit, Spiros describes how they used the crisis to rapidly speed up digitalisation in the Greek PES rather than postpone it. The result was successful, and the Greek PES is now leading the way in working with leading US technology companies such as Google, Coursera Amazon, Cisco and Microsoft, planning training and providing the Greece-based employees the US multinationals are seeking. The Greek PES was at the centre of social cohesion during the traumatic years of the pandemic.
