Georgios Giannakopoulos CEng MIET SMIEEE AdvRITTech MBCS MInstP ARAeS

With over 20 years of experience as a Principal (Senior) Network Engineer and Chartered Engineer (CEng), I specialize in bridging the worlds of IT and Telecommunications to deliver innovative, resilient, and business-focused solutions. I hold an MSc in Communications Engineering and Signal Processing and maintain active memberships with MIET, MInstP, MBCS, ARAeS, and SMIEEE, reflecting my commitment to professional excellence and continuous development.

My career has combined technical depth with leadership responsibility. As a Chartered Engineer, I apply advanced theoretical knowledge to solve complex problems and develop new analytical techniques. I have led projects, managed teams, and taken accountability for systems that balance technical, financial, and socio-economic factors. Creativity and innovation are central to my approach, and I place strong emphasis on clear communication to ensure technical information is understood by all stakeholders.

I am recognized as self-motivated, ambitious, and adaptable, with proven ability to deliver complex projects on time and at high quality. Having studied and worked across diverse cultural and professional environments, I collaborate effectively with colleagues at all levels and from different backgrounds.

Core strengths include:

- Delivering results independently or in teams.
- Strong organizational and documentation skills.
- Designing highly available, resilient solutions.
- Results-driven with excellent planning and execution.

Alongside my professional achievements, I contribute to the wider engineering and academic community through publications that advance knowledge in communications, IT, and engineering.
