Stefanos Skouloudis

Greek banker, politician and diplomat (1838–1928)

In the history of enterprise, Stefanos Skouloudis is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Stefanos Skouloudis as Greek banker, politician and diplomat (1838–1928).

Stefanos Skouloudis was born at Constantinople in 1838. His recorded nationality is Greece. He was educated at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.

He worked as politician, banker and diplomat.

Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

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

Stefanos Skouloudis died in 1928, aged 90. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
