In this edition of "Owning Your Path," we spotlight George Mouftoglou, Senior Associate, whose experience highlights the transformative power of mentorship and a supportive team environment.

‍The Journey

George’s professional background was built on customer satisfaction, having worked as a Sales Representative and in various seasonal roles in the demanding restaurant and bar industry while completing his Business Administration studies.

He was drawn to Dialectica by three key factors: "its global presence," "significant growth," and the "welcoming approach" of the team during the recruitment process.

‍A Typical Day

George's daily focus is translating client needs into expert solutions. This requires a dedicated, multi-faceted approach:

“I conduct extensive market, company, and expert research to ensure we engage the most suitable experts for each project. Additionally, I constantly follow up with potential leads and make cold calls to find new ones.”

He finds the most reward in niche markets, connecting highly specialized individuals globally, introducing them to the concept of expert networks, and offering them paid consultation opportunities.

Confidence Built by Mentorship

Moving from hospitality and retail into a fast-paced corporate environment can be daunting, but George emphasizes that the people made the difference.

“I can honestly say I haven't felt scared once during this journey... What truly stands out is the incredible people I've had the pleasure of working with.”

He specifically credits his mentor for this outcome:

"I’m incredibly grateful for the immense influence my manager, Eva, has had in developing my skills and knowledge. And, my Senior Manager, Roxana, consistently motivated and helped me feel confident that I can always deliver the best results."

This dedication to mentorship, combined with strong team bonds, is what makes the demanding environment highly rewarding.
