STATEMENT
My name is Nikos Sarvanakis and I would like to share my interest to run as a candidate for a Board Member seat.
I am a US citizen, working with The Coca-Cola Company for the last 17 years in Europe, US and in UAE. During the last two years I am based in Dubai as the Finance Director for the Middle East, responsible for 14 markets. I believe my diverse international and finance experience can support AmCham in influencing and supporting the interests of US companies in the region.
