Phaedra Chrousos is Chief Strategy Officer of the Libra Group. She joined as Chief Innovation Officer in 2016, where her role was to identify, pilot and help Libra Group subsidiaries adopt disruptive technology solutions.

Prior to joining Libra, Phaedra served as a political appointee for the Obama Administration.

The second, a digital media company, was selected as an Endeavor company for its contribution to the Greek economy during the country’s recession.
