Subject to approval by regulatory authorities, Semertzoglou will take over leadership of the Greek branch on 1 July 2023. Vagiakakos will act as a consultant thereafter.

He joins HDI Global from Groupama Asfalistiki, where he served as commercial director, responsible for the sales network and customer service. Commenting on his new role, Semertzoglou says: “Together with my experienced team at HDI we will find tailor-made solutions for clients and be a reliable partner for the Greek industry.” David Hullin, board member at HDI Global, says: “I would like to thank Notis for his great commitment to HDI Global. With his expertise, he has been essential for the very successful development of the Greek branch. I wish him all the best in his retirement.” “With his broad knowledge in sales and in the mid-market, [Konstantinos] is the right person to successfully realise our extension to this important market segment. I wish him every success in his new role.”
