MEMBER SPOTLIGHT - Panagiotis Madamopoulos-Moraris, L’09

Penn Club Member Since: 2013

Lives in: Athens, Greece

Hobbies: Speargun fi shing, freediving, studying the works of Thukydides

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job? My job revolves around international business development and scaling; designing, monitoring, evaluating and negotiating market entries, real estate and wholesale transactions and opportunities.

Where do you like to vacation? My ancestors’ birthplace, the stately and revered since the Homeric Age island of Symi, located on the SE cerulean waters of the Aegean Sea.

What do you often do at the Penn Club? I mostly use it as my out-of-the-offi ce offi ce for business meetings, also a place to have classmate reunions or relaxed hangouts every time I am in the city.

Do you have any advice for new Penn Club members on how to best utilize the Club? I would advise them to actually read the newsletter, attend at least 1 event per month, meet up at the Club often so as to turn it into a ritual, and fi nally research the alumni database and get a suitable mentor.
