Maria Pallidou

Maria Pallidou serves as Associate Lecturer in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship at The American College of Greece (Deree), bringing exceptional industry-academia integration through her concurrent role as Co-Founder & CFO of Phosprint med-tech startup. With 30 years of multinational corporate experience including two decades in senior financial management positions at Johnson & Johnson across Europe, Middle East and Africa, she provides students with real-world business leadership perspectives.

Her academic foundation includes:

• BSc in Accounting and Finance from The American College of Greece (Deree)
• M.B.A. from McGill University, Canada

Her research profile centers on management and entrepreneurship with specialized focus on business strategy and startup development, particularly within medical technology. This dual-track expertise bridges theoretical business concepts with commercial med-tech innovation through Phosprint. While no formal research lab is documented, her startup leadership offers practical application opportunities for students interested in technology entrepreneurship.

Her extensive industry background significantly enriches classroom instruction, though specific academic grants or student supervision details are not provided in available sources. The absence of documented scientific awards reflects her primary recognition through corporate leadership and startup development rather than traditional academic accolades.
