Having previously worked for different cultural organisations in the field of Marketing, Fundraising and Event Planning, she has been leading SYMVOLI’s team since 2012. She has persistently built up the company’s Cultural Management sector, enhanced the range of international collaborations in Europe and USA, and developed innovative projects focused on cultural tourism and cultural planning.

Driven by passion and enthusiasm for project management, she takes a ‘hands on approach’ to leadership and is regarded a creative thinker with a holistic approach to project design, and calmness to problem solving. The key values which underpin her working modus are trust, integrity, and respect by default.

Vicky balances long working hours with valuable time spent with friends, listening to good (jazz) music, travelling and road tripping to new destinations. Most of all, she loves to think life as a non-linear path: latest detour was getting back to studying Museology and doing research on city museums, migration heritage and oral history.

Anna has been part of the Thessaloniki Film Festival’s team for 22 years: having a leading position in the Events Management Department for more than 14 years, she was appointed Head of Public Relations and Sponsorships in 2013, while also overseeing the planning, coordination, and production of the main events of the cultural organization.

She is a calm power, who lets her work make all the noise. A warm personality, very energetic and -as some would say- party starter, Anna is a music and concert enthusiast, who also inhales books and movies with a greatest eagerness than she has for oxygen! She enjoys cooking for friends and fine-tuning evenings with music and handmade delicacies at her home.

Anneta’s statement feature is her attention to detail. She is the person to whom everybody is running to when they need a fresh pair of eyes. She is well structured and always punctual to her deadlines and appointments. Gentle and clear communication is a fundamental feature in her professional life. Anneta is also characterized by her high sense of aesthetic and effectiveness.

As an amateur photographer she fills the social media with inspiring images. Anneta’s point of view is so accurate that could even impress a professional. As a fierce foodie she can guide you through the best restaurants and tavernas in town or advise you on where you can surprise your uraniscus with a fine crafted glass of aperol spritz.
