Profile

Dr. Eng. Evangelos Markopoulos is an expert, entrepreneur, and scholar on innovation management (disruptive), entrepreneurship (social and sustainable), knowledge management and startup-development and funding. He holds a BA in Computer Science, an MSc in Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence, and a PhD in ICT Project/Investments Management.

As a computer scientist, he worked mainly in the USA, at ΙΒΜ, Siemens and at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Dr. Markopoulos has since taught in UK business schools for many years (Queen Mary, UCL, University of Essex, Royal Holloway University of London, SOAS, HULT) and has also conducted research for these schools and others (TUAS-Finland, University of Turku, Zayed University UAE). He has published more than 120 papers in double-blind peer-reviewed academic journals and conferences, as well as a book on innovative organizational cultures, and he has edited three international conference proceedings.

As an innovative entrepreneur and businessman, he established and managed the EMPROSS group of companies, consisting of: EMPROSS Strategic IT Consultants, Athens, Greece (project management), Sparthink Technologies, San Francisco (innovation and apps development, SmartGATE, Cairo Egypt (enterprise engineering), and Sophia147+, London, UK (knowledge and innovation management). He has developed and invested in several technologies and innovations in process and project management, and engineering.

During his professional career, he taught more than 200 international corporate and executive education programmes, seminars, and workshops to more than 10,000 professionals at all levels (executives, managers, directors, business owners, etc).

Dr. Markopoulos bridges industry and academia, with his wealth of experience in practical research and industrial projects and initiatives. His teaching is based on the Applied Philosophy concept he invented, by integrating the thinking and reasoning of major philosophers (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Voltaire, Descartes, Kant, Confucius, Smith, Bacon, etc). He has found that this method achieves high results in student performance, satisfaction, engagement, and commitment. He brings the integration of his academic and industry experience into class, and works closely with students by offering academic and industry opportunities (internships, competitions, challenges).

His successful coaching and mentoring impacts the knowledge, careers, and futures of his students. During the last five years, he has coached students to achieve many international awards and distinctions in global social and sustainable entrepreneurship competitions, taking place in the UK, Norway, Santo Domingo, Malaysia, Vietnam, Egypt, Japan, Lebanon, China, Canada, Spain, Colombia and France. Mentees of Dr Markopoulos have twice won the UN’s global social entrepreneurship award, the Hult Prize, and received a letter of recognition from the former US President William Jefferson Clinton.
