"I’m honored to join the Board of the Deon Policy Institute at a critical juncture for Greece’s industrial and economic development. To rethink and strengthen our industrial model, we must draw from the successes of other nations that have transformed their economies through innovation and strategic reforms, and Deon Policy Institute is well-positioned to help Greece do exactly that,” Michail said. “I look forward to working with Deon to bring forward ideas that can help Greece become a leader in sustainable, long-term economic success," he added.

"We are honored to welcome Mr. Michael Stassinopoulos to the Board of Directors of the Deon Policy Institute. With his extensive leadership experience at VIOHALCO SA and ElvalHalcor, as well as his deep involvement in promoting industry growth and competitiveness in Greece, Mr. Stassinopoulos brings invaluable expertise and insight. His commitment to advancing economic development and innovation will greatly enrich our mission. We look forward to his contributions and leadership as we work together to shape impactful policies for the future," said Georgios Laskaris, the president and chairman of the board.

Joining existing board members — George Laskaris, Drake Behrakis (Marwick Associates), Kristin Fabbe (European University Institute), Andreas Stavropoulos (Threshold Partners), and Bill Antholis (Miller Center)—Michail will add to Deon’s impact by offering additional insight into Greece’s sustainable growth and prosperity. Being a thought leader in the manufacturing industry, Michail has experience that has equipped him with the means to address the contemporary challenges of the country.
