Preserving Tradition and Shaping the Future 

Gianna Konstandinidou’s journey to becoming CEO of Konva is a testament to her deep-rooted passion for her family’s business and her relentless drive to lead it through one of Greece’s most challenging economic periods. 

Raised in Thessaloniki, Gianna had a special interest in the family business and joined the team immediately after completing her studies in 2003. Rather than settling into a single role, Gianna chose to immerse herself in every aspect of the company, rotating through various departments to gain a comprehensive understanding of the operations. 

In 2014, Gianna took the reins of the Business Development Department, where she spearheaded initiatives that helped KONVA navigate new growth opportunities. Just a year later, at the height of Greece’s financial crisis, Gianna stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer, a pivotal moment that tested her leadership and resolve. Despite the economic challenges, Gianna’s strategic vision and the support of her family and team allowed her to steer the company toward stability and growth.

Her passion for the family business, combined with her strong leadership, has helped Konva not only survive but thrive, becoming a leader in its industry. Gianna’s journey from the ground up, alongside her unwavering dedication to the company’s vision, continues to be the driving force behind KONVA’s success.
