Hello, I'm Dr. Marianna Makri, an Associate Professor specializing in Strategy and Entrepreneurship. I hold a Ph.D. in Business Administration, which reflects both my academic rigor and enduring commitment to advancing the field.

 

For over two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of research and real-world application—particularly in the domains of strategic management, corporate governance, family business sustainability, and, more recently, digital innovation.

​

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, I focus on guiding organizations—startups and established enterprises alike—through the challenges of Digital Transformation and the adoption of Emerging Technologies. I help business leaders reimagine their models, identify scalable growth strategies, and future-proof their operations through applied innovation.

​

My background includes hands-on advisory work with startups, where I’ve helped accelerate ideas from early concept to market readiness by developing and validating robust business models. I also specialize in governance design for multigenerational family businesses—helping them thrive through structured leadership succession and digital modernization.

​

What distinguishes my work is a bespoke, research-informed approach to strategic problem-solving. I combine academic insight with practical frameworks to deliver high-impact solutions tailored to each organization’s context. Whether you're launching a venture or digitally reinvigorating a legacy enterprise, I bring a strategic lens grounded in both tradition and transformation.
