Antonis Malaxianakis is the Founder & CEO of Harbor Lab and is on a mission to optimize and streamline shipping processes through transparency & innovation.

Antonis Malaxianakis is well-placed to drive back-office digitalization.

Not only does he have a bachelor’s degree in statistics and a master’s degree in shipping, but he cut his teeth in ship management company Thenamaris’ disbursements department after being recruited onto its graduate training program.

He spent four and a half years with the company, and then two with Greece-based tanker manager Product Shipping & Trading, during which time Malaxianakis started developing the dashboard for what would become Harbor Lab’s flagship online Disbursements Accounting (DA) Tool.

Malaxianakis has first-hand experience, first as a trainee, then disbursements operator and finally disbursements supervisor, of the processes that drive disbursements accounting, and realized that a significant part of the job could be streamlined through digitalization and founded Harbor Lab.
