Last May I had the opportunity to do a Q&A with Nikkos J. Frangos on the stage of TEDxThessaloniki. An incurable visionary, Nikkos is an entrepreneur, investor and producer of films and documentaries. With investment activities ranging from the fields of renewable energy and the shipping industry to IT, he has founded and funded numerous companies all over the world. Working for a couple of months with Nikkos prior to the TEDxThessaloniki event, I was amazed by his passion for life, his notion of "living on the edge of existence", his love for new ideas and his unconventional approach into doing business.
