Evangelos Charatsis
Chairman & Managing Director of BETA Securities S.A.
I was born in 1962 in Athens. After obtaining my BSc in Accounting and Finance from the American College of Greece (Deree College), I continued my studies at City University Business School (Bayes Business School), where I earned an MSc in Shipping, Trade & Finance.
I then worked at Barclays Bank in the dealing room, focusing on the foreign exchange market and the interbank market. I continued my career at the shipping company Tsakos Shipping & Trading, where I worked in the company’s chartering department, mainly dealing with oil tankers.
In 1990, I founded BETA Investment Advisors, which in 1995 evolved into BETA Securities S.A., where I remain Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder to this day.
In recent years, I have also served as General Secretary of the Association of Members of the Athens Exchanges (SMEXA) and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Investor Compensation Fund for Investment Services.
