Giorgos Vernicos

Greek entrepreneur and politician

Giorgos Vernicos is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Giorgos Vernicos as Greek entrepreneur and politician.

Giorgos Vernicos was born at Athens in 1950. His recorded nationality is Greece. He was educated at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and University of London.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as politician, entrepreneur and ship-owner.

What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.

That the business was built from Greece shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
